The CN Tower, Toronto recently opened it's Edgewalk. For only $175.00 CAD you can give yourself a v-tach during a 30 minute walk around the tower which is 365 metres (1200 ft) high. Enjoy:

The workers take a walk on their break:

OK, that gave me vertigo or something just watching the video.

Meagan, I'll happily stay WAY down on the ground, sipping a wine while waiting for you ...... you go up and walk.

Ahhh, no thank you!! LOL

I'll do it! The highest I've ever been (not counting airplanes or mountains) is in a balloon over the San Diego Zoo
and the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. What a great photo op!!!

Yikes!
I have such a fear of heights, and I would love to get over it.
I didn't realize that you meant they literally are on the edge.
I'd like to think that I would give it a go, although I suspect I would just be catatonic and paralyzed with fear. I might even pee my pants because I would be so scared. That would be awful.
Should I put it on my bucket list for the next time I am in Toronto Meagan?
Kelli, I'll go if you go!
