Freddy Nock, a 46-year old stuntman from Swizerland, climbed to the top of Germany's highest mountain, the 2,962 m Zugspitze, on the cable car ropeway, using neither a balancing pole or a security harness.
As he walked the 1,000 metre long route from the cablecar station near the Bavarin resort of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, he gained 348 metres in altitude, needing an hour and 20 minutes to complete the climb.
Nock intends to enter his feat the Guinness Book of Records as the "longest and highest wire walk above sea level without a balancing pole".
What makes his feat more special, is that he's doing it for a good cause, raising money for Unicef.
