Nik Wallenda's high-wire walks in downtown Chicago

sy" weather has caused delays and last-minute wardrobe issues for the crews organizing Nik Wallenda's high-wire walks in downtown Chicago on Sunday.

The tightrope for Wallenda's second, blindfolded walk was set up a day later than planned, on Saturday. The production staging to televise the event was similarly delayed by one day because of Friday's cold, windy weather, organizers said. Fleece hats, hand and toe warmers, other under-layers and new jackets had to be purchased too.

"We have just been in full scramble mode," said Sharon Scott, president and general manager of NBC News' Peacock Productions.

At 6 p.m., Wallenda, of the famed Flying Wallendas family circus act, will perform over the Chicago River. The 35-year-old from Sarasota, Fla., best known for walks across an Arizona gorge and Niagara Falls, will walk from the rooftop of Marina City's west tower at a 15-degree angle across the river to the Leo Burnett Building.

If they really wanted to give people a thrilling show they'd have him walk down an alley on Chicago's south side.
