A Colorado slackliner has taken the sport to dizzying new heights by rigging up a line between two hot air balloons and crossing it in the skies above Brazil.
Davis Hermes, 23, hails from Vail, so he’s not exactly new to high altitude adventures, but his latest feat is enough to give even the hardiest adventurer butterflies. On August 4, Hermes crossed a slackline he had rigged between two hot air balloons that were floating at 7,545 feet (2,300 meters) over Praia Grande, a coastal city south of Sao Paulo.
