Despite the alarmingly high number of fatalities this year at Yosemite National Park, Mich Kemeter wasn’t afraid to attempt a death-defying stunt thousands of feet above ground.

Highlining Yosemite Falls, news

The daredevil performed an amazing rope walk 3,000 feet above ground at the renowned national park, walking a stunning 82 feet from start to finish without any safety harness.

Kemeter is shown in the video below “highlining,” which is similar to tightrope walking but involves a rope that is loose and bouncy – meaning it’s even more difficult and the 23-year-old is just a bit more crazy than the average extreme enthusiast.

The daredevil walked the 82 foot rope three times with a safety harness first and then removed it for his monumental fourth and final walk. Midway through one of his treks, he even knelt down to pray. Amazing.

Highlining Yosemite, wow

Kemeter holds a number of world records, including walking on a 525-foot rope 25 feet above a freezing-cold lake in Austria. This highline rope walk 3,000 feet above Yosemite certainly ups the ante!
