## Caption

Happy Friday, everyone! DeanPotter here to kick off my #ElevationWeekend takeover. Catch me tomorrow night on the premiere of #ValleyUprising at 8/7c on DiscoveryChannel. 
This is my home: Yosemite, California. I've lived here for the past 24 years - pretty much my entire adult life. These #BigWalls have transformed me. Within them I exist in a reality I once thought was purely imagination. Now I live the impossible. I scale massive cliffs alone, walk highlines over empty voids and have turned dying into flying with winged human flight. I used to look at my shadow and see the silhouette of a #raven. Now I am that black bird and see my flying shadow beside me upon the rock faces as I glide by at over 100-mph... #Yosemite #California
