    for TV / great thrill

    Dean Walker was an amazing climber and slack-liner. A well-enough filmed doc about a totally fascinating climber, base-jumper, slack liner and free-soloist.

    It covers his attempts to slack-line(or high-line) two record breaking spots in Yosemite, but also goes into some background about how he got started with slack-lining, as well as some of the ups and downs in his career and personal life. Interesting perspectives into his family life and break up, getting in trouble for climbing the Delicate Arch which caused him to lose a major sponsorship and resulted in a lot of personal turmoil.

    In some ways it was most fascinating because it covers some much of his dare-devilry before he got in to BASE jumping and wing suiting that would eventually lead to his death in May 2015.

    He who lives by the sword.
