Florida aerialist Nik Wallenda completed a tightrope walk that took him almost half a kilometre over the Little Colorado River Gorge in northeastern Arizona on Sunday.
Wallenda performed the stunt on a five-centimetre-thick steel cable, 450 metres above the river on the Navajo Nation near the Grand Canyon. He took just more than 22 minutes, pausing and crouching twice as winds whipped around him so that he could get “the rhythm out of the rope.”
“Thank you Lord. Thank you for calming that cable, God,” he said about 13 minutes into the walk.
