A Swiss daredevil's climbed the highest mountain in Germany in an unusual way...
He scaled the 3000-metre peak using a cable car wire as a tightrope.
Freddy Nock gained nearly 350 metres in altitude as he walked the kilometre-long route without a balancing pole or a safety harness.
The stuntman's trying to break seven world records in a week, raising money for charity in the process.
