One mistake you’ve done rigging a line ?

I was using soft-release to de-tension a very tight 100m Nylon line at the “safety meeting” festival. I fed it through till it looked like it was almost totally loose and then let it go. The entire thing made a sound like a gun-shot and rocketed away from the anchor. Lesson learned.

Highline should be completely free or there should be rules ?

There are obviously basic principles which make sense to adhere to like don’t start in the “no fall zone” and rules would mean standardisation which means competition which means getting more money into highlining etc. However I don’t do highlining to compete with others, I do it to compete with myself and because the feeling of being on a highline is my favourite feeling in the world

 You think solo is :

I now don’t free solo. I think that the wrong reasons to do it are if you are caring about what other people are thinking about you, or if you are taking pictures of it.

What goals would you like to achieve this year ?

My aim this year is to continue hanging out with awesome, stoked highliners and work on sending a 200m+ nylon highline
