Meet the professional highliner who walks wires 400ft in the air despite having a fear of heights.
Taylor St Germain, 25, got into the sport through an ex-boyfriend who was a keen slackliner - balancing on a suspended length of flat webbing that is tensioned between two anchors.
Taylor would force herself to sit on the line to try and conquer her fear of heights.
In February 2021, her then-boyfriend entered an online competition called the Pandemic Open where freestyle high-line walkers submitted videos of their best tricks.
But he dislocated his elbow elbow and wasn't able to compete - so Taylor took his place and came fourth.
Since then, Taylor has overcome her fear, entered four competitions - winning two - and is due to compete in the Highline World Championships in Laax, Switzerland later this month.
