Old Man of Storr

ROAM with Benjamin Kofler and Mattia Felix Felicetti

The Old Man of Storr is an iconic pinnacle of rock nestled amongst the crags in the Isle of Skye, Scotland. When photographer Thomas Monsoro first spotted the area, he quickly got the inspiration for an epic highline. Rallying a five man team, the adventurer set out with highliners Benjamin Kofler and Mattia Felix Felicetti to establish a new first route between the towering spires, walking the line where many believe the devil himself walks amongst the shadows.
