Nik Wallenda To Attempt To Tightrope Across Canyon Tonight 7PM CST On Discovery
Wallenda walked across Niagara Falls last year and tonight will attempt to walk across the Little Colorado Gorge in Arizona live on the Discovery channel at 7pm CST.
Countdown to the walk comes on at 5pm CST. 1500 ft high, taller than the Empire State Bldg. this time untethered, no safety net. He wanted to walk across The Grand Canyon but he was not allowed to just like they refused Evel Knievel in the 70's. Watch this video, guy is truly nuts or has balls of steel or both. http://skywire.discovery.com/360.htm..._utmk=49727590 http://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewbe...-grand-canyon/ Last edited by houstonwhodat; 06-23-2013 at 03:35 PM.. |

Yesterday they probably shot a line of dental floss across the canyon and had some Mexican laborer use it to carry this guy's cable across. It's like on Everest when the westerners "climb the mountain" and the Sherpas carry their equipment and climb ahead to place the ropes and stuff.
