ʻO ka hana a Faith Dickey e kau maoli nei i kona ola ma ka laina i kēlā me kēia lā. ʻO ka 25 makahiki he slackliner ʻoihana-he huaʻōlelo umbrella no nā ala like ʻole e hiki ai i ke kanaka ke hele ma luna o kahi kāʻei i ulana ʻia. ʻO Highlining (kahi kānana o ka palaualelo) ka forte a Dickey, ʻo ia hoʻi ke kaʻapuni nei ʻo ia i ka honua e ʻimi nei i nā wahi kiʻekiʻe loa e hele wāwae ma ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi mea ʻē aʻe. ʻO Yikes!
Hele ia me ka ʻōlelo ʻole o kekahi o nā wahi ʻoi loa a wiwo ʻole i ka laina kiʻekiʻe aia ma nā Alps. A ʻoiai ʻo ia ka mea wiwo ʻole, ʻo ka piko punahele a Dickey e hele ma kēlā ʻaoʻao ʻo Aiguille du Midi, he mauna hoʻopunipuni ma ka puʻu Mont Blanc e kū ana ma 12,605 kapuaʻi.
"He aha ka mea ʻokoʻa e pili ana i ka highlining ma Alps ka ikaika o ka ʻike āpau," wahi a Dickey. "Ke kiʻekiʻe nei i ka honua, nānā ʻoe i ke awāwa ma lalo a ʻo nā hale he kiko liʻiliʻi wale nō. He mea pāʻani lākou ke nānā aku. He mea hiki ʻole ke hilinaʻi."
ʻO ka moeʻuhane ʻino loa o kēlā me kēia acrophobic ʻo ia ka moeʻuhane a Dickey, akā ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo ʻaʻole ia e makaʻu. "Ke highline pinepine ʻoe, aʻo maoli nō ʻoe e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i kou makaʻu e like me ka mākala," i haʻi aku ai ʻo ia i kahi moʻolelo nui nui. "ʻO kekahi manawa ʻaʻole ia ke kiʻekiʻe ʻo ia ka mea makaʻu loa, ʻo ia ka wehe ʻana-ʻo ia ka nui o kahi āu e ʻike ai a puni ʻoe."
No laila, paipai ʻo Dickey i ke aʻo ʻana i ka slacklining ma luna o ka wai. Ke hele ka manawa o lalo i lalo, kahakaha kou kino i kēlā ʻaoʻao, ke manaʻo nei ʻaʻole ʻoe e kaohi i kou kino-kahi manaʻo like ke hoʻohālikelike ʻoe.
Hoʻohālikelike? Makemake hou aku? E nānā i kēia mau kiʻi hoʻoikaika kino hihiu mai nā wahi makaʻu loa o ka honua.
