South African Highline Guide!

[Schmidt]

hey all highliners, ive been setting up a few highlines lately and thought to myself that there has been alot of highline development lately. We need a highline guide, was wondering how to go about it? a web page or a facebook group,or a wikipaedia entry or,we can just add it to climbza's page? maby even place a cairn at each anchor point to make it more obvious.let me know what u guys think.

Sounds sick Schmidt, where are you based and where are all these lines going down?

i could contribute a bit to some of the lines around Cape Town.

there is a a Facebook page going in CT but it's more for organizing the occasional highline than sharing highline beta, we could change that.

Hi there

I know we've asked this before and I don't want to harp on it too much but please:

If you set up highlines over any of the ravines on Table Mountain please inform someone from rescue as we regularly fly those ravines in helicopters and the lines are a massive hazard to the helicopters. Send a pm to me, Ant or Brent on this forum and we will make sure that the message gets through.

Thanks in advance
Nic

maybe we could setup something like this ...

there are a few websites for these sorts of things, and in the descriptions would have to be things like access and other restrictions like what Nic La Mainted on

The easiest solution to this might be to add a section to the climbing wiki. In any event I have a few lines I would like to add, and a few more I might want to keep quieter on...

I'm based in Pretoria, just set up a line this past weekend at Ezemvelo, and found a building high line in Pretoria town, amongst random others. Wow, andy, that page looks epic. perfect. exactly what i was thinking. but i cant set up a web page so I think a wiki entry or facebook group will be better. things to add are;
1- access to the line.
2- a map tag or directions(photo can be added to this).
3- name and place.
4-conditions to watch out for that can be updated.
5- length of the line.
6- a rating as to the quality of the line.

And was thinking there should maybe be 2 categories, one for ultra lines that are longer than 30 meters and one for lines that are shorter. What you guys think? anything else? or less?
I would greatly appreciate you're expertise.

sounds cool, Justin will support us with putting in some Wiki entries. i like all you categories, maybe the "ultra" one should be 50m and longer.

it would be cool to start this up.
