Bad-ass women we admire: The woman who walked the tightrope in heels. In the rain

Let's hear it for the girls

Katie Mythen-Lynch

In honour of International Women’s Day on March 8th, this week we’re celebrating women who rose to a unique challenge.

Today’s nomination is Faith Dickey, who is known as ‘That Slackline Girl‘, having shattered various world records with her tightrope walking feats.

Last year she took her love for extreme sports a little further, taking on the highline while wearing high heels… as the rain poured down on the forest many feet below her.

We salute Faith because, where we frequently have trouble navigating sold ground in our heels, she’s breaking records in them. Respect.
