High Wire Artist Freddy Nock’s 7 Days Challenge – Photos

High wire artist Freddy Nock from Switzerland is trying to to set a new world record by doing seven summits in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in seven days.

His “7 records within 7 days” is part of a UNESCO charity event.

I think that what he is doing is very dangerous.

Can he do it?

The 2,917 metres (9,570 feet) long balance with a constant ascent between 41.2 percent and 52.5 percent is part of Nock's "7 records within 7 days" attempt and part of a UNESCO charity event.
