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.

Transverse waves on a rope are created when one end of the rope is moved up and down, causing a wave motion that propagates along the length of the rope. This motion causes the particles of the rope to oscillate perpendicular to the direction of the wave, creating crests and troughs as the wave travels.
On a Rope was created in 1995.
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.
