At 3,300-feet in the air these skilled slacklining beauties perform ankle balancing, squats and even the splits in front of the camera. The amazing images were captured by photographer Jared Alden, 31, after he travelled to Taft Point in California. “These images of Hayley and Emily are amazing because we are seeing top athletes pushing their athletic abilities into a greater realm of athleticism,” said Jared, from Philadelphia.
