That will be Nik Wallenda’s final tweet before hopefully arriving safely on the other side of the Little Colorado River Gorge.<\/p>\n
Update:<\/strong> Wallenda tweets from the other side:<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/NikWallenda\/status\/348985106796531712\n Previously:<\/p>\n More on the story from CBS News<\/a>:<\/p>\n Daredevil Nik Wallenda is using the Navajo Nation as a backdrop to one of his most ambitious feats yet — crossing a tightrope 1,500 feet above the Little Colorado River Gorge near the Grand Canyon.<\/p>\n The 34-year-old Sarasota, Fla., resident will set out Sunday on a quarter-mile cable stretched over the gorge that was eyed by another high-wire performer decades ago. The stunt comes a year after he traversed Niagara Falls earning a seventh Guinness world record. He’ll be using the same 2-inch-thick cable he used to cross the falls, only this time he won’t be wearing a safety harness.<\/p>\n The crossing is airing live on the Discovery Channel with a delay. Wallenda isn’t wearing a safety harness like he was when he crossed Niagra Falls, and there is no safety net:<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/brianstelter\/status\/348960942974963713\nhttp:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/abcactionnews\/status\/348934764369154049\n Twitter is buzzing with comments about Wallenda’s attempt.
