CNTower, EdgeWalk-Toronto, boldlygosoloHere's one Guinness World Record you can match without having to lift a table with your teeth or live with scorpions for more than a month:

Walk outside on top of the CN Tower restaurant, 116 stories high, to match the record for "highest external walk on a building" set in 2011.

Here's my Washington Post story about doing the Edgewalk during a June visit to Toronto.

    Janet,
    That’s me! I’m woozy too. The only time I wasn’t woozy was while I was up there…

    Do you mean to tell me that lifting a table with my teeth was all for naught? My dentist wasn’t happy about it, either. http://www.clarknorton.com

    That was you? Cool.
    No, of course that was not for naught Clark. It was impressive in its own right. And I think you’ll get to keep your record because fewer of us will be able to match or better it.
    Congrats.

    But seriously…. I’m VERY impressed. Still not tempted though. I looked through plexiglass floor on Sears Tower and could barely breathe.

    Yah, EdgeWalk is not for everyone. Hm. Probably not for most people.

    I’m not too bad with heights, but I don’t think that I would be leaning back quite that far… you must have had a lot of trust in your harness. 🙂

    Mark – if I look at that photo and think about it now, I would say, what was I, crazy?
    But somehow, when I was up there, no problem.
    And several different people DID check that harness – at least three.
