Monte Piana Hammock Action 2014


The hammock action is an annual event during the International Highline Meeting at the Monte Piana in the Dolomites, Italy at 2230m . The idea to sleep in a hammock on such an incredible place was born at the very first Highline meeting at the Monte Piana in the year 2012. The adventurous pioneers Armin Holzer, Alex D?emilia, and Igor Scotland of Ticket to the Moon hammocks, were so impressed by this experience that they wanted to share it with their friends. In 2014 in total 22 people gathered in 16 hammocks on this special occasion. This event is a symbol of peace and a tribute to the past. The place was chosen not only for its natural beauty but for its historical importance. This area is an open air museum to honor the memory of the young soldiers who died here during the First World War. Its 7 km of trenches are still visible. THE STUNT WAS PERFORMED AND DESIGNED BY A PROFESSIONAL TEAM OF ATHLETES AND RIGGERS. (?>The set up had a pre-tension of kg and reached a peak work load of kg with all the people in the hammocks.)
