I am getting goosebumps just looking at the new CN Tower EdgeWalk. The EdgeWalk is a new addition to Toronto's CN Tower that lets small groups of people hang 1,168 feet off the top of the CN Tower.
The EdgeWalk plans to operate from May to October in all sorts of weather conditions excluding electrical storms and high winds. The cost for a walk is $175 and includes a keepsake video to show off to your friends. All participants on the walk are screened for drugs and alcohol in addition to weapons and explosives, which slightly eases my mind but not enough to make me book a trip to Toronto. If you are braver than myself and want to experience the CN Tower at its most extreme, then you'll definitely want to check out the EdgeWalk, which will be conducting its first walks on the first of August.
