metres into the water feet first.

like the adrenaline,’ he says.

B HIGHLINING
You can ‘highline’ in lots of different places, but mountains are popular. You
put a line between two high places and walk across. In this photo,
American Andy Lewis walks above a canyon in Utah, USA. It’s early
evening so he can’t see very well. Also, the wind is strong so Andy can’t
walk fast, but highlining is a great adventure.
