Estonian slackliner Jaan Roose performed a series of tricks 120 meters above the ground in Gwanghwamun, central Seoul, on Thursday as a large crowd gathered below to watch.
Roose, 33, a three-time slackline world champion, walked along a 160-meter-long slackline connecting the Koreana Hotel and the Donga Media Center, in what was billed as the first high-altitude slackline performance in central Seoul.
Slacklining is an extreme sport in which athletes balance and walk on a flat, flexible line about 2.5 to 5 centimeters wide stretched between two points.
