46-year-old Swiss stuntman Freddy Nock is a bigger bad-ass than you are. And he proved it by tight-rope walking. He scaled Germany’s highest mountain — the Zugspitze, which stands 2962 metres above sea level — by walking along its kilometer-long cable car cable. Without a balancing pole.
Apparently this is eligible as an entry into the Guinness Book of Records, as the “longest and highest wire walk above sea level without a balancing pole”. Nock will soon be trying to secure the record for the longest cable crossing on a bicycle in Austria. As one does.
