Hey all.

I heard that there was an established highline in the Gunks, but that's all I know on the subject. Does anyone know where it is? If it's bolted? Do people even highline regularly at the Gunks?

Hard to imagine given that the ridge runs in a straight line... I guess there are places for such a setup but not on the main ridge.

Personally I'm getting kinda tired of the wingsuit base jumpers taking off from the top of Horseman. Especially when the Uberfall walkoff is so close.

what? Really? Why wouldn't they go to a taller part of the cliff? Horseman is what like 120ft? Aren't there parts that are double that?
