Nik Wallenda took 22 minutes and 54 seconds to walk across a 2in steel tightrope 1,500 feet above the Grand Canyon.
If that’s not mad enough there was no safety harness, he just used a massive balancing pole!
Check out the video of him finishing the tightrope walk, he almost runs across the steel rope to the end.
Mr Wallenda is from a family of daredevils and in 1978 his Great Grandfather died trying a similar stunt in Puerto Rico.
In June last year Nik completed the first tightrope walk over Niagara Falls in over a century.
