My guess is that the highline probably goes from Country Road to Lift Girls Lament, rather than across the gorge, however I could easily be wrong, ... and if I'm not then I suspect it's only a matter of time before that happens.

Even from CR to LGL the line would be plainly visible to tourons at the major lookout of Guide Alice's Lookdown at Pulpit Rock, and given PV's stance on climbers bolts generally, I'd be surprised if they condone these new phenomena ones.
