The siblings, seventh-generation members of the Wallenda family circus troupe, have trained for the worst possible conditions. They've used wind machines with 90 mph winds and hoses blasting water to simulate torrential rain.

\"I've done some big events in short periods of time, but nothing compares to this,\" Nik Wallenda said.

Two years since the tragic accident, Lijana Wallenda will have to confront her nerves before the physical and psychological challenge.

\"I'm just a little nervous because the wire moves more than anything I've ever been on,\" she explained.

\"There is that physical aspect that she hasn’t been on the wire for a long time, so that’s a major concern,\" her brother said. As for the mental aspect, \"I have concerns that when she gets up here I don’t know that she’ll take that first step. I think she will, our family blood says never give up, continue on,\" he said.

\"What she’s having to overcome to me, is almost impossible, and I’ve done this my whole life as well,\" he said. \"This is the highest walk by double anything she’s ever attempted before and the longest by quadruple.\"
