Extreme Skywalk Cleaning Tests Grand Canyon Workers
Published at
Abseilon USA(PHOENIX) — Spring cleaning has been taken to an extreme level.
Workers dangling from ropes 4,000 feet above the Grand Canyon cleaned under the glass walkway Monday at the Skywalk.
The horseshoe-shaped bridge, which has a steel frame and a glass floor, extends 70 feet from the rim of the canyon, giving visitors a breathtaking view of the landscape.
Kenneth Piposar, vice president of Phoenix-based Abseilon USA, which has taken on the daring task, called the job a “great photo opportunity.”
“It is the thrill of a lifetime to look down and see a person suspended by two ropes at that height with the Grand Canyon just below them,” he said in a statement.
The Skywalk is located about 250 miles from Phoenix.
