## Caption

DeanPotter here for my #ElevationWeekend takeover on DiscoveryChannel! 
In the photo above – taken by jimhurst - I’m highline walking the iconic Lost Arrow Spire in #Yosemite, completely untethered. One lapse in focus would mean certain death. The Lost Arrow is where high #slackline walking began with Scott Balcom's successful leashed walk in 1985. I owe so much to my linewalking teacher #Chongo, aka The Godfather of Slacklining. For a homeless man, he's given me and countless others direction and belief that we can accomplish our so called "crazy" ideas. 
Learn more about our dirtbag-climber counter-culture during the premiere of #ValleyUprising tomorrow at 8/7c on DiscoveryChannel!
