Crazy but awesome

I'm in a holding pattern at the moment so nothing to tell about my life, but this guy is sure making his own excitement:

A tightrope walker has made a bid for a new world record by scaling the support cables of a mountain cable car in Germany.

Freddy Nock climbed up to the summit of the Zugspitze - Germany's highest peak - without a balancing pole. The mountain is 2,962 metres (9,718ft) high.

It was the first of a series of record-breaking tightrope walking feats the Swiss man is attempting over the next week.

They don't say what his next trick will be but hard to imagine how he'll top that. Video of the cable walk at the link above.
