Lol...I dunno I reckon you could sneak it on under a long jacket, a quickdraw coming out each sleeve with a little clip and you're off, nobody would know.........until you fall, but don't fall!!

Fear not, I shall do this without aids or safety devices!

Maybe :D I'm after that other wire bridge in the 'Bealach Bagging' post now - that looks even more rickety and fun! :D

I'd best diet then! :D It does look quite narrow wire - like wire-fence wire... best not cross it in bare feet!
