In a few weeks I am going to be going to horse pens for a short trip and I was wondering if there was any place up there to set up a highline? Thanks.

There totally is a great place for a highline. I scoped it out at one of the last comps - we did a slackline demo there. The location is from the high boulder that they have a wooden deck mounted too, then accross to another boulder of simular height. Here is the delima: 1) I think you need to ask the landowners before you rig the line since the area is on private property and we don't want to screw up climbing access. 2) The anchors are going to require a lot of rigging from mulitple and spaced gear placements in wide cracks, and I mean wide! The only other possibility is to place bolts, however I don't think the owners are gonna be too cool with that scenario. The only reason we did not set the line up at the comp a few years ago was because we did not have enough big gear to rig the anchors.

Best of luck!
