Talk about not your usual excursion to the desert: A B.C. woman has smashed the world record for the longest highline walk.

Vancouver-born and Nelson-raised, Mia Noblet crossed a 493-metre gap 120 metres up in the air on November 13 in Castle Valley, Utah.

The previous record? It was Noblet's, too--an August, 2016 cross of 222 metres in Hunlen Falls, B.C.

Noblet initially trained in her youth as a figure skating, practicing out of the Richmond Olympics Oval, according to her SlacklifeBC bio. However, the now-22-year-old met some members of SlacklifeBC rigging lines in 2015 in Vancouver, and decided to give her longtime dream a try.

Fast forward to now, and Noblet has just set this impressive record.

Check out a few more shots of Noblet in action:
