Estonian daredevil completes world’s longest single-building slackline at 185m elevation

Estonian daredevil Jaan Roose successfully completed the world’s longest single-building slackline, walking 150 metres across, 185m above the ground in Doha.

Recently released videos showed Roose, undeterred by windy conditions, crossing a slackline between the Raffles and Fairmont hotels in Qatar’s capital.

“Oh, that was a fight,” Roose said after reaching the other side of the iconic buildings.

The three-time slackline world champion started the feat before dawn, using LEDs strung along the line to light his way.

“I feel fantastic, actually,” the 31-year-old said when reflecting on his accomplishment.
