This film tells the story of the first highline between the Cima Grande and the Cima Piccola. The line of 121 meters, connecting two of the three iconic towers of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo in the Dolomites, was rigged in June of 2023.

15 pitches of alpine climbing, unstable weather, endless hauling of all the gear up a 300m cliff, very little sleep in a very exposed bivi spot, and finally rigging and walking this beauty of a line - hopefully I managed to convey some of the emotions and experiences in my film.

It would not have been possible without you: Bernhard Witz
