Default King of the High Wire

Quote:
Daredevil Nik Wallenda completed a historic high-wire walk over a section of the Grand Canyon on Sunday, greeted with wild cheers after finishing his journey over the yawning chasm on a 5-cm steel cable.
Wallenda, the self-described "King of the High Wire," walked 426.7 metres across the crimson-hued canyon with just the distant ribbon of the Little Colorado River beneath him. The event was broadcast live around the world

A great feat of balance
