Freddy Nock, 46, used neither a balancing pole or security harness as he scaled the two inch thick cable to the top of the 9,000 foot Zugspitze mountain in southern Bavaria.
He gained some 348 metres in altitude as he walked the 1,000 metre long route, which took an hour and 20 minutes.
He plans to submit his feat for entry in the Guinness Book of Records as the "longest and highest wire walk above sea level without a balancing pole". In the coming week, at different locations in Austria and Switzerland, he will also attempt the longest cable crossing with a bike and try walking the longest and highest rope down a valley. He is hoping to raise money for Unicef. - telegraph
