The Canadian meteorologist shared that it's the "coolest thing" she has ever done.
Kelsey McEwen is facing her fears.
On Tuesday, the CTV's "Your Morning" meteorologist shared a series of photos from her latest broadcast where she rappelled from Toronto's CN Tower.
The snaps showcase McEwen smiling as she hung off the side of the renowned skyscraper by her feet in a bright red jumpsuit and safety harness.
"She's traded her fear for a healthy respect of heights," McEwen proudly penned in the caption.
Amid the broadcast, the TV personality called braving the CN Tower EdgeWalk the "coolest thing" she has ever done.
EdgeWalk is the world's highest full circle hands-free walks, situated at a height of about 356 meters above the ground.
Participants are securely harnessed and attached to an overhead safety rail system. Then, they're led by professional guides to walk along a 1.5-metre-wide ledge that circles the top of the CN Tower's main pod. The walk lasts for roughly 30 minutes and allows visitors to take in the panoramic views of the city of Toronto and Lake Ontario.
Fans flooded McEwen's comments section with warm messages commending her courage and commitment to her career.
"Ridiculously proud of you for this! I couldn't do it. Even watching you made my stomach turn," one person wrote.
Another shared: "I watched you this morning! You're so epic!"
"Serious respect," someone chimed in.
"Glad you faced a major fear. That was fierce," a commenter added.
"This is amazing! You go, girl!" a fan echoed.
One person penned: "You are so brave!" while another added, "This is seriously epic! Amazing work and courage facing that fear!"
This isn't the first time McEwen has proved she's "fierce." In February, she fired back at a Twitter user for shaming one of her on-air outfits.
Listen, I own my body, camel toe & bubble butt included. Your words bring me zero shame. Your feelings about my body & outfit are a you problem, not a me problem.
And red? Red is 🔥
