I tried to look at a web page and it was in french. Google tried to translate it for me and this is what it said in part.

Beginning in April, Damien Mercier and two slackers will try to beat the record high for a Highline Kjerag Norway. To clear Christian Schou tablets, they must pass a strap secured 2.5 cm wide stretched between two peaks climbing to over 1000 meters above the ground. Meet one of the tightrope of a new order.

Mercier Damien loves to defy the laws of gravity. And play with the vertigo. Slackline pioneer in France, Savoy 29 years has found all the variants of this practice, born in the United States there are more than twenty years, during a training period in California in 2002. A revelation. "After observing climbers of Yosemite Park which saw the exercise as a good complement for climbing, I started to train on a short strap to the ground (trickline). I had m'accroche because it requires great concentration, good reflexes and a perfect mastery of his body. Then I started to travel longer distances (longline) before crossing my first Highline. When one stands in balance to several hundred meters, very quickly feel weightless. Due to security, we forget completely empty! "
