Pepe Martina walks from west tower to east tower

Pepe Martina was the only person to walk from the west tower to the east tower without using the plaza or lower levels.

He used a tightrope suspended 60 feet up between the two towers. He performed a variety of tricks along the way. Pepe, who performed around the world, was in town in November 1975 to promote newly expanded facilities at Chicago Health and Tennis Club, located at Marina City.
