Seeing as we didn't have a Friday Matinee last week, here's a Tuesday
one to ease your way back into the working week, with streaming video
of Swiss tightrope walker Freddy Nock making the highest tightrope walk
ever at 9,655 feet to the top of Germany's highest mountain.
Nock walked up a ridiculous 3,264 feet of inclined telepherique cable
on the Zugspitze without a harness or safety net. He was around 400
feet above the ground and took around 50 minutes to reach the station.
Mad stuff...
