Yesterday Swiss tightrope walker, Freddy Nock walked up a steep cable on the slopes of Germany’s highest mountain, Zugspitze.

The climb was used to raise more than $19,000 for the German charity “Menschen fuer Menschen,” which runs rural developmentprojects in Ethiopia. Check out the amazing video:
