Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ Mongolian circus actor M.Myagmarsaikhan, who is written on the Encyclopedia of Mongolian Circus as the highest tightrope walker, is going to walk on a tightrope across the Waterfall Ulaan Tsutgalan in Bat-Ulzii soum of Uvurkhangai aimag on 11 August. He is going to walk on a 65-long tightrope 25 metres above the ground. This is the first time of tightrope walking in the beautiful landscape in Mongolia.
M.Myagmarsaikhan has been collaborating with world renowned tightrope walker and 22-time Guinness World Record Holder Freddy Nock from Switzerland since 2005 and started performing high-wire or skywalk act. At the 2009 High Wire World Championship in Seoul, South Korea, M.Myagmarsaikhan raced across a 1-km long rope at 30 meter high over the Han River in 12 minutes and 55 seconds and earned fourth place. Some of his other accomplishments include crossing on a 120-meter long rope between two 30-meter tall cranes wearing fireworks at night in Switzerland in 2005, walking on a 40-meter steep rope between 15-30-meter-tall buildings and on walking an 80-meter long rope between two buildings 30-meter tall above the ground in Switzerland.
