Slacklining over the Gavea Stone in Rio de Janeiro

Am gasit fotografia asta absolut spectaculoasa in National Geographic si a trebuit sa o impartasim cu voi. Daca nu faceam gestul asta absolul altruist nu am fi putut dormi noaptea si, cel mai probabil, bad karma ne-ar fi insotit la urmatoarea iesire aventuroasa si chiar ne-am saturat de picioare rupte si tendoane blocate!!!

“Climbing, and life in general, in Brazil was totally mind-blowing—the relaxed culture, varied climbing objectives, and an inspiring landscape that combines jungle, mountain, and ocean,” says climber-artist Renan Ozturk of this trip to film a documentary about Brazilian friend who died—and to capture the adventures of her homeland. Here, Ozturk carefully makes his way across a highline at Gavea Stone, overlooking the glittering lights of Rio di Janeiro. “This was a scary moment to capture on film because I had to mount the line in the dark over the void and then keep my balance in the strong wind as my good friend Tim popped a huge flash in my face. It was a great adventure.”
