The Approach: This line is totally obvious. Drive to the Buttermilks bouldering area in Bishop, CA, and locate the Peabody boulders. These are the first two HUGE boulders just off the road on the north side.
The Rigging: This is a tough one to rig. First you have to climb each boulder. Grandma Peabody goes at about V0 for 40 feet. Grandpa Peabody requires a 50 foot V1x slab arete to summit. There are 3 bolts at the top of each boulder. You'll want to fix a rope on each side and rig the tensioning system on Grandpa.

The possibility of serious injury or death is inherent in any activity involving motion or height such as climbing, surfing, skating and slacklining. The equipment and activity discussed on this site are intended for use by properly trained, qualified participants under supervised conditions willing to personally assume all risks and responsibilities associated with slacklining, for which Slackline Brothers, Inc. absolves itself of all liability. Know that this information is mostly heresay, as we have not visited each highline destination. Before highlining, know your limitations and the limit of your equipment, and asses FOR YOURSELF the conditions of the anchors. Your rig and your safety are your responsibility, not ours! There is a good chance the information posted here is erroneous, and existing anchors may not be safe. Keep your equipment in good working condition. Test for loose fittings or fibers and or damage before each use. Always use a leash, or tether when highlining, and avoid falling whenever possible, especially when your falling zone is not clear of obstructions! Serious injuries/death may very well result from highlining. No one may reproduce any of the material on this site without previous consent by Slackline Brothers inc., and its authors.
