No, he only got about 20 feet before reversing back in. Still pretty amazing though.

Thanks for the video, I couldn't make it today either, but even just watching that it looked scarily and impressively high. The thought of walking that high-wire with no safety ropes or nets is incredible.

I'll keep checking the website for the rescheduled date, since I'm more keen than ever to see this happen now. Please keep us posted here though, just in case anyone misses updates on their website.

If the wire has been left up, how long before there's half a dozen pairs of trainers hanging from it?

Doesn't look like there will be any rescheduling in the short term future, the film gear is hitting the road tomorrow morning....
