It was mentioned that Wallenda would be the first in 150 years to cross the gorge on tightrope. The Great Blondin did it several times:

Charles Blondin - wiki

 

This he accomplished, first on 30 June 1859, a number of times, always with different theatric variations: blindfolded, in a sack, trundling a wheelbarrow, on stilts, carrying a man (his manager, Harry Colcord) on his back, sitting down midway while he cooked and ate an omelet and standing on a chair with only one chair leg on the rope. [3]

 

Wiki reference 3

 

Holy **** - he made an omelette while he was crossing on tightrope!
