Nikolas “Nik” Wallenda is an acrobat, daredevil, and high-wire artist. He comes from a long line of entertainers and is most famous for being the first person to cross over Niagara Falls on a tightrope. Tonight he walked across a section of the Grand Canyon. The major difference between this stunt and his walk across Niagara Falls is that this time he did it without any tether or any other safety device. He is now the first person to ever cross a section of the Grand Canyon on a wire. If you missed it live, check out the replay here.
Congratulations, Nik!
