Slacklining

Outside of the rock climbing community I have found very few people who understand some of the things we do besides climb. One of these activities is slacklining. While i was climbing a lot the slackline became my best friend. When your arms get tired you work on your balance. It is a relaxing way to recover and take a break without feeling useless.

A slackline can best be described as a one inch wide trampoline. Slacklines are similar to a tight rope but a slackline is made to bend and flex. A typical slackline is made of one inch tubular webbing that is pulled tight between two anchor points, typically two trees. The point is to then stand on the line and walk back and forth between the two anchors. It is much harder than it looks but with time you will see a significant increase in your ability to balance.
