A US daredevil is preparing one of his most ambitious feats yet when he tries to cross the Grand Canyon on a tightrope 1,500ft up.
Nik Wallenda, 34, will attempt the quarter-mile crossing above the Little Colorado River Gorge on Sunday night - without wearing a safety harness.
The last thing he will do before setting out on the two-inch steel cable is kiss his wife and three children and tell them he will see them later, he revealed.
The stunt comes a year after he traversed the Niagara Falls - becoming the first to cross since 1896.
It will be broadcast live by The Discovery Channel
A group of Navajo people are reportedly planning to protest at the event, claiming it is a gamble on one man's life.
Mr Wallenda, a member of America's Flying Wallendas circus family, said the only thing that will prevent him taking on the crossing is a lightning strike within a 15-mile radius.
He said: "I respect deeply what I do and realise there's a lot of danger in it.
"I absolutely will look down. And I'll enjoy the view."
