World's Hardest World Record - Full Documentary of Lapporten, Sweden 2.1km Long Highline

We did it! The Lapporten Project by @northernlines_slackline officially got a highline world record at 2130m long (1.3 miles) but it isn't just the length, it was in a really remote location making the rigging quite complex. A full feature film by Pinewood Productions will be aired on Swedish TV and submitted to film festivals.

GREAT JOB TEAM AND THANK YOU EVERYONE
FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

[dokaplan]

I came here from Tom Scott's newsletter and this is incredible! I've never been into the sport but this documentary was so well done I watched the entire thing. It was fascinating seeing all the work that goes on behind the scenes. Great job, everybody!

[ChchCharlie]

Thank you for giving so many of us a chance to be a part of this. Even if only to sponsor a small amount. A soft shackle worth went a long way!

[anonymousbosch]

I’m a lineman and I wish I was involved in something like this as there’s a few ways to make this easier. Pulleys and pork chop line clamps and there’s a lot of knots that aren’t appropriate for climbing but work well for pulling. That being said I have zero experience in slack line or rappelling. I very much respect the improvisation and adapting of the group

[lucadondoni]

This is art. It is not just a sporting activity: it is an aesthetic experience. Life is not easy, times are hard. These feats lighten our hearts, and give us special hope. Thank you very much ❤️

The next time you all do this sort of thing, bring thermal imaging. Would be really interesting to see what kinds of temps the equipment is being exposed to!

I live in northern Sweden, and I can just say that the amount of luck you would need to get that type of weather, ANYWHERE in the mountain regions of northern Sweden, is out of this world!

[lleberghappy]

This is such a big step up in production quality Ryan! It's beautiful and really really honest. The importance of safe and sound rigging is really what I bring from this. I have seen Lapporten many times but never imagined you could walk a line across before this..

Great job. Looking forward to the movie on SVT!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[ericman]

the commentary on this video is so insane. I appreciate you so much Ryan all the rigging and walking crew. Thanks a lot guys!

[iamhere]

Absolutly mind boggling, thats just insane! The amount of planing and the timing is crazy! To watch you guys rock this projekt with all the struggles you went through, had a great inpact on how I persive those long distance riggs. Thanks for sharing it in such an honest and transparent way. Great job!

[prismvideomaps]

So Awesome Ryan. Congrats on the project, and to everyone who sent! The animations were fun to make for this one!

[MP-bxuj]

I love watching your videos. I’m a climber and I’ve never seen high lining other than your channel, so I learn a lot from you and I really enjoy your vibe. You’re very lucky to be surrounded by so many great people and exploring so many different things. Wishing you lots of luck in your channel.

[Magnetic_Spaceman]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've never done anything like high lining, but the amount of insight I've gained from this channel about rigging and gear has been invaluable!

[jacktrussler]

Man this video was absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for bringing us in on this monumental task!

[behindthespotlight]

I’ve been around all sorts of rigging for motion pictures in Hollywood (16 years) This was masterful. It was unlike anything else I’ve ever seen. Incredible 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[foihdzas]

What am inspiring story Ryan.

It’s been amazing watching this channel evolve. I came here for the break tests, as a climber I enjoy seeing limits of the gear.

I slackline here and there, but I can see now how high lining is just as exciting at alpine climbing. You’re really out there…

[bwhite]

Ryan,
This was a fantastic documentary! Congratulations on such an awesome achievement- My family and I loved seeing everything involved in this project. Blows me away what you guys do.
Thanks for sharing and good luck on the next project!!

[stewartperry]

[gdubya]

Thank you for this content Ryan. So stoked you filmed and narrated this. I was completely locked in the entire time.

[vinceburris]

Best YouTube video I have watched this year. Really amazing guys. Thank you Ryan for bringing it to us
