A group of adventurers from Calgary and myself set out on a highline adventure on July 15,2012. The destination was McGillivray Canyon in Kananaskis Country. The approach was an easy hike through the canyon until we encountered a rather deep section filled with water. There was a cable attached to the eastern wall; however whatever stepping surface had been swept away. We turned back and found a trail on the western ridge of the canyon that allowed us to skip the wet portions of the canyon. The trail led to an open rock climbing area and we found a prospective highline spot near the end of the canyon.

Slackline
I have recently started doing the sport (and art) of slacklining. It involves balancing and walking across a nylon line strung between two anchors. It is extremely difficult but so much fun!
This video is from ISPO 2010, the “World Championship of Slacklining”. Enjoy.
