A tightrope performer balances on a rope just 12 mm thick, 120 metres above the Niagara Falls. Another traverses the
Lysefjord in Norway at a height of 1000 metres. A third ascends the Säntis in the Swiss Alps on the 58 mm wide monorail
suspension wire, achieving a new long distance record: 1122 metres. But with or without a record: those searching for
the shortest route between A and B will reach something fascinating in the process.
