Highlining is simply slacklining at heights. Think about walking a line in your favorite park. Now take away the soft grass below. In fact, take away any visual perception of ground. Ever try walking with eyes closed?
Slacklining takes away most of the sense of proprioception as the only contact the body has with its surroundings is the moving stretching webbing under foot. In addition to this, highlining takes away most of the visual system there is no clear level ground in sight. Many would argue that highlining is the ultimate challenge in slacklining.
