Bear Grylls media, apart of Barcroft Media has published some footage from the 2014 Assault On The Chief highline festival. Filmed with a drone, the video features Spencer Seabrooke walking the “Shannon Falls” highline freeSolo.
On August 2nd, 2o15, Spencer Seabrooke successfully walked “The Itus”, a 64 meter long, 290 meter high highline atop The Chief in Squamish BC without any safety equipment, breaking the previous world record highline freesolo set by Andy Lewis.
“The Itus”, established by SlackLifeBC, had originally battled and consumed Spencer for quite some time. From the day we first rigged the line, he talked about it being the world record freesolo line, and I knew that someday it would be. Having pushed his highline and longline personal bests further and further, Spencer was ready. Tensioning the line with only a line grip and high-slide, he walked the line once with the harness. Feeling confident, Spencer then removed all safety equipment, stepped out on the line and proceeded to break the world record freesolo.
From the first time we rigged highlines at Brandywine Falls, Spencer dreamed of riding off the falls in a boat, attached to a rope swing. This weekend, the dream came true
Move epic video from drones and high definition cameras will be released soon!
This amazing rock formation captured our attention from the first time we laid eyes on it. The rock spire, with the crashing waves below, situated for the perfect sunset walk.
No disrespect was intended with this action, we admire the rock for its beauty in the same way many other people do.
