The attraction allows people to walk hands free along a 1.5-metre-wide ledge that surrounds the top of the tower’s main pod.
Walkers who venture out in groups of six are secured with a harness during their 150-metre stroll.
The walk opened to the public on Aug. 1 and officials say it has attracted thrill-seekers from age 13 to 90.
EdgeWalk will soon close for the year but reopens May 1.
