Edgewalk on the CN Tower

You want to see Toronto from 356m or 1168ft high and walk the world's highest full circle handsfree rooftop you signed up for Toronto's most extreme attraction. The three of us, my son Max and his
girlfriend Morgan headed by subway to Union Station and walked to the CNTower. Toronto had a booming 33C degrees heat and our hands were already sweating by the unknown to come. We measured our heart rate with the iphone app and we clicked already a nervous 121.




....... and this is the edge where your feet ( toes) are on the ledge of the platform, your bud is sticking our, you straighten the legs and let the hands go from the harness and look down 1168ft.

SMILE 

You pushed your personal limits!

Max and Morgan ( she is a great sport participating in this adventure)


The complete walk takes 30 minutes, the first 10 minutes our guide Margot ( amazing) makes us feel at ease buy pointing all the landmarks of Toronto. I must tell you I didn't get nothing, my only focus was to survive leaning over the edge. Toronto looked like legoland from above. The west/north side had strong winds which gives the edgewalk a whole different twist.

Leaning forward over the edge was not my favorite.



....... and at the end we thought it was a piece of cake hanging of the edge and goofing around.

We celebrated afterwards at the Steam Whistle (brewery) with cold pilsner. As you noticed I underlined afterwards the preparation for the edgewalk entails a breathalyzer test.
Our names are now added to the guinness world record  to have done the world highest full circle handsfree walk.
