Allegedly..........

walking a tightrope at 600 feet above ground, is no more difficult than on one 6 feet off the ground............


just hurts a bit more, if you fall off.......

try this

Stand on one leg for 60 secs (without holding on to anything).
Now do the same with the other one.
Easy, yes.
Now do the same with your eyes shut.
Ah....

I accept no liability for any injury while attempting the above it is at your own risk. Cats & children should not be allowed in the room at the same time as attempting the challenge.

High-rise rope walking is to be used by the American police to test the sobriety or otherwise of miscreant motorists.

Chicago tightrope walk.

I caught this on Sky news, and my heart was in my mouth.
I had to turn it off because I couldn't watch him make the return trip... blindfold!
Footage will be online somewhere but it's truly terrifying!
