Video: Yosemite In Timelapse

There is nothing like starting out a new day (and week!) with a great video to remind us why we love the outdoors so much. This one was shot in Yosemite National Park and is incredibly serene and beautiful. It also happens to give you a nice glimpse of why that park is considered one of the best climbing and hiking spots in North America. Enjoy!

Video: Slacklining With Dean Potter

Where do you go to get a thrill after you've climbed some of the toughest rock routes in the world? If you're Dean Potter, you move on to slacklining. In the video below, Dean is walking a tight wire, more than a 100 feet long, across an open chasm in Yosemite, without any kind of safety device. One misstep, and it is a long fall to the ground below. Crazy stuff, as usual, from Dean.

I'm not sure I get the whole slacklining/highlining craze. It seems like you're just asking for trouble. Still, the video is unnerving the watch, I'll grant you that.
