Beautiful indeed.

(But when I clicked on the "Man Who Could Fly" link below the Moonwalk video, I got a "Unable to find this video" message from the Nat Geo website. Is it just not available yet? or did I just encounter a glitch?)

What a spectacular video. It says the video was shot from ~ 1 mile away at sunset.
Here's a photo showing what I think are the 2 pinnacles along the summit ridge of Cathedral Pk that the slack line is strung between. But this photo is looking NE and the pinnacles are in reverse order. Looks to me like the video was shot from the ENE of Cathedral Pk looking WSW? But if that is true, how is the moon rising in that direction?

His dog is registered as a service animal.

No they're not.

Quit making up sh!t pertaining to Dean.

They are not all seeing eye dogs.

Dean registered the dog as a service animal and there are several different attributes as to being trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual.

Great video, I had just seen the pictures, but the movement was lacking. Yeah Mark, that moon is hauling ass.

Anyone know where the photographer was located when he took the video? The article says he was ~ 1 mile away. Was he over by Medlicott?

I believe that was shot on July 12, 2011. He was setting it up as I topped out on Cathedral, and he clued me into the fun straight-up top-out.

I was there when they filmed this video, there was no moon out that evening. The main camera was right next to me and probably 300 yards away from Dean. I suspect the moon effect has been added but I am not sure 100% how they would do that. It is also possible they went back another day and shot this video.
In any case, it was impressive to watch him go back and forth like he was floating through the air. Dean is from another planet.

Thank you Sergio...That's what I thought.
There's no way that video could have been taken from the summit of Fairview with the full moon rising to the east.
