In what can be truly called a show of remarkable courage and self-discipline, 25-year-old Alexander Schulz pulled off a jaw-dropping stunt, walking across two skyscrapers on a tightrope in Mexico City.
With this act, Schulz set a new world record, as it became the highest and longest ever slackline performance in an urban area. A whopping 217 metres were covered by Schulz on a tightrope, at a height of 240 metres.
As elaborate arrangements were made for the stunt by his team, Schulz pointed out how hard the challenge was, and also admitted to being nervous.
But a few tries and three falls later, Schulz finally emerged successful – pulling off an unimaginable feat.
