The CN Tower in Canada defines the Toronto skyline and has become the city's most extreme attraction.

EdgeWalk gives thrill seekers the chance to walk around a 5ft (1.5m) ledge at the top of the tower, hands free, with no railing, at 116 storeys above the ground.

I can give you first hand info, NOT on walking that edge.  That was not on last time I was up the tower.   When you're stood on the open air viewing gallery the aircraft landing on Lake Ontario local airport are flying BELOW you on aproach, now that's spooky.

They also have, and had it long before most others, a LARGE glass floor to walk across.  Below your feet is an 11.000 foot drop so ya godda mind that first step, it's a lulu....

I'de love to walk round that edge thing, all harnessed up of course   :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance:

I'm ok with heights (if there is a railing...)  :sweating:

I fly paragliders and don't think twice running of a 1000' cliff, or sitting in my harness at 10,000'

vertigo is different and I'll feel woozie same as anyone else at anything above roof level
