The Cave by Heimplanet
Q1. How many separate air beams make up the frame of The Cave? Answer: 5
Q. If you won The Cave, where would you take it, and what would you do there?
This is what the winner David Thexton from York said: 'This summer I am planning a trip to the Dolomites with a friend to set up some new high lines. We are also in the process of producing a film showcasing all forms of slacklining, from really exposed high lines to flips and tricks on jib lines. One of the shots we would really like to get is the first crevasse high line and the Cave would be a perfect light weight base camp for such an expedition. ",
Dave will be submitting a review of the The Cave by Heimplanet in 2012.
