Tight Rope was created on 1999-09-21.
If the rope is horizontal, then it would not be possible for a tight rope walker to walk on the rope with the rope being completely straight. No amount of tension in a perfectly straight rope can support any amount of weight that is exactly perpendicular to it. But don't worry. If the rope itself has any weight, then it's not possible for a horizontal rope to be completely straight, for exactly the same reason.

Slack-rope walk. A rope will be under tension and tight if the two ends are elevated so there is no slack, hence a tight-rope. However, leaving the rope unsuspended will result in a slack rope which will not move under foot and can be walked on easily, as the rope is supported by the ground that also offers support to the feet.
I love watching the tight rope walkers at the Circus.
The knot was pulled tight, securing the rope in place.

A tight rope walker is "un funambule" (especially when the rope is very high) or un "fil-de-feriste" (when the cable is set at about 2/3 meters in height)
They are usually called tight rope walkers or acrobats.
A funambulist.

If this is a reference to the rope around the High Priest's ankle then the story is not in the Bible.
