Tight Rope walking (or funambulism), is the well-known art of walking along a thin wire or rope, and an awe inspiring acrobatic skill. It has a long tradition in various countries and is commonly associated with the circus, music hall and vaudeville.

It is also a venerable form of extreme adventurism, with walkers attempting epic walks between high buildings, across the Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon, up the Eiffel Tower, etc.

See also Slack Rope walking.
