Daredevil Successfully Completes Tightrope Walk 1,500 Feet Above Gorge Near Grand Canyon LITTLE COLORADO RIVER GORGE, Ariz. (CBS Las Vegas/AP) — Daredevil Nik Wallenda does it again. In an unofficial time of 22 minutes, 54 seconds, Wallenda crossed a quarter-mile tightrope 1,500 feet above the Little Colorado River Gorge near the Grand Canyon. Wallenda paused and knelt twice to get “the rhythm out of the rope” and murmured prayers to Jesus almost constantly along the way. He stepped slow and steady, but jogged and hopped the last few steps. “Thank you Lord. Thank you for calming that cable, God,” he said about 13 minutes into the walk. The stunt comes a year after he traversed Niagara Falls earning a seventh Guinness world record. He used the same 2-inch-thick cable he used to cross the falls, only this time he didn’t wear a safety harness. (more) lasvegas.cbslocal.com
