Dean Potter’s Tightrope Walk in Yosemite Looks Exactly Like Walking on the Moon

Dean Potter was one of the most fearless and visionary athletes of his generation — a man who seemed to treat Yosemite’s cliffs and cables as his natural habitat. He passed away in 2015 during a wingsuit flight in that same park. This video is a reminder of why he was so singular: he didn’t just perform daring acts, he made them look effortless, beautiful, and somehow inevitable. Worth revisiting.

Ever wanted to walk on the moon? Dean Potter appears to do so in this amazing tightrope walk in Yosemite, California.
