Even wonder what it’s like for staffers who clean the Grand Canyon Skywalk. It certainly is not for the faint-of-heart and requires the work of a highly-trained crew and a ton of rope for safety purposes.

Abseilon USA specializes in the cleaning of elevated surfaces. Staffers from the company were responsible for the recent cleanup of the Grand Canyon’s skywalk.

During the process, the technicians are left dangling from the skywalk as they wipe down the windows. Together, the crew requires nearly 5,000 feet of rope to hold them in place and prevent them from plummeting to the ground below.

The skywalk cleaning job is a popular one. According to Abseilon USA’s Vice President, many people are jumping at the chance to hang above the Grand Canyon and get paid for it.
