Got a fear of heights?

A video of El camino del Rey

Quote:
Originally built in 1901, this walkway now serves as an aproach to makinodromo, the famous climbing sector of El Chorro.

I am in fact afraid of heights. Assuming I could make it as far as he was at the start of the video, there's no way I could make it past that first pole. I would just stare at it and not move haha.

I like to rock climb though. Which is odd. I think I got attracted to it because of my first instructor who said "I'm scared to death of heights, that's why it's so fun."

More to the video... that place is beautiful. I Want to be there all the time.

I'm those types of people who like being scared of heights, so this would be perfect for me to check out.

I'd be shitting bricks the whole time, but I want to do it to say I've done it. It'd make a good story at parties.

This is why I would do it. Just to say that I have.

I hate heights, but I want to do that so badly. Reminds me of stuff you do in Half-Life 2. Maybe someone could make a map for those who don't have the money to travel to Spain? lol

I'm good at climbing but I get eaisly overwhelmed and freeze up. We had a zip line at camp that was 45 ft up. I got there fast enough but I couldn't move my legs to jump off. It sucked, I made everyone wait like a dbag.

I don't have a fear of heights. I have this weird thing where I always feel like I'm about to fall if I'm high up. I haven't always been that way though. I used to be the first guy to stand at the very edge of a cliff and pretend I was falling. Now if I done that I would fall its weird. blah
