🧵 how do you learn to tightrope walk?

I was at my local football/soccer field today when I decided to try walk along one edge of the fence (metal chicken wire fence with a rounded metal top). Could barely get halfway after an hour of trying. This is now unfinished business and I will not rest until I have walked the whole fence. I figure this is basically just tightrope walking so I need tips from anyone who actually knows their shit. I don't have a balancing pole

Use a plank or a pole and put a brick under each end. You're not supposed to practice several feet above the ground until you can successfully keep your balance. Once you can competently cross your practice plank, you can either elevate it to boost your confidence at height, or carry weight across it to get the relevant muscles working harder.
