About

Take your slacklining to the next level with a personalized Highline excursion!

  • Guide will meet client in town, and either transport client or have them follow by car to the highline area. After a brief discussion about environmental and safety protocol, our guide will install a short beginner Highline and coach the clients through basic introductory skill such as proper harness usage, leash tying, mounting the highline, climbing the leash after a fall, sitting on the line, scooting and rolling across the line, and standing up if the client is able.

  • Additionally the guide will work with the client on mental training tools to overcome fear, become more comfortable at height, and work through mental barriers that might arise while on the highline. Some slacklining experience a plus but not necessary.

  • For the client with some slacklining skills already, this is an excellent opportunity to experience some of the most beautiful highline locations around Moab with a professional Highliner as their coach! Our guide will meet the client in town to carpool or caravan to the location, where they will then rig a safe highline at an appropriate length for the clients abilities (between 45'-200' long) while giving a basic explanation of safe rigging practices.

  • Guide will then help the client develop skills such as standing up, walking, working through difficult moments on the line, practicing breathing and mental techniques for overcoming fear, and a mental and physical warm up and warm down routine. For clients who have tried highlining before, our guide can tailor the trip to suit their goals, be it furthering their highline skills or working on a mental barrier.
