The 12th annual Ouray Ice Festival was a feast for the senses!

The boys laid it all out on the line yet again setting up a 67 foot long and, 150+/- high Highline at the Ouray Ice festival.

It was hard and cold! Larry and Dylan rigged for a day, and then at sun down on saturday Damian and Dylan fought hard for it. Taming this super tight( tightened 17% according to Dylan) double, theaded with a rope beast.

"This is hard" the boys kept saying. The weather conditions made it specially challenging. Snow falling in your face, frozen feet, stepping off and then hearing the river below and getting even more distracted! The beautiful blue ice cascade sculptures frozen in time provided a magical back drop for this team's efforts. Led by Larry Harpe, the goal was acomplished! To share the love and craft of slackline.

The Cali contingent had a good showing with Auntie, DamianC showing strong skills and mastery and, Todd and the boys from Rockreation.

Colorado well represented with slackinjacklyn, Masonjar and Brian Gallant who continue to up the ante and stepped off into the frozen void too. Good effort!

And we made new friends. BIG slacker Love props to Eric and Hanna from Durango and all the go for it! folks that came to the festival and participated.

See you at the lines!

He showed that his resolve and his heart are just as big and sent 30 ' , Aron's Gap Highline at Stoney Point today, 3/16/07. BIG LOVE BIG GUY! CONGRATULATIONS!
