Welcome to the ISA: Czech Slackline Association Founded in 2011, it aims to support and develop slacklining in the Czech Republic. Hence, they organize slack meetings, events and competitions to build the community, and are in touch with authorities (both nature protection and cities/government) to find a way how to create or protect official slackline spots.  In the Czech Republic slacklining is considered a sport. Also everybody knows Ostrov, Adršpach and the legendary projects of the Czech crews - if not, you have been living under a rock for the past 10 years!  The leadership team [...]

First ISA Safety Standard Published

2020-03-04T03:24:09+01:00

ISA:21 Highline Systems What is a highline? The ISA:21 Highline Systems Standard is a formal engineering definition and description of what a highline is and what the various components it consists of are. In addition to that, it also defines the forces that are acting upon the webbing, anchors and the highliner. In essence, it is a lot of fancy words, but it allows our partners and testing laboratories to communicate more effectively. Download Highline System Standard 21:2019 On one hand this standard provides a framework for highliners as well as slackline [...]

On this page, we are expanding on the topic and providing updates as the situation changes. Additionally, information about these lines and access in the area has been added to the SlackMap (https://slackmap.com/x/s02a8wqvBT8vX). NORWAY HIGHLINING Bolting is illegal in Norway without express permission from the land owner or land manager. No new bolts should be placed in Kjerag while access negotiations are ongoing.

Bolting and Highlining in Norway

2017-06-24T19:03:09+02:00

Norway, Kjeragbolten Norway provides some of the most picturesque landscapes for highlining, and as such, has become a bucket list item for many among the highline community. A recent highlining expedition to Norway, however, has reported stumbling against the local bolting ethic. To provide clarity to the community, we are passing on information from a Norwegian climbing association. These ethics should be adopted for highlining in the country. In general, bolts should not be placed in the mountains but only on sport climbing cliffs Bolts should not be placed on lines which are possible to climb with natural protection [...]
