Airplane height doesn't bother me, I find the view fascinating! most building heights don't seem to bother me, and I can stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon or the Green River Overlook all day. However, when I was a teenager, and immortal, I once climbed to near the top of a huge, abandoned Coal-mining dragline boom. Was doing great, until a wind came along, and I happened to look down! I didn't freeze, but I went into super-SloMo on the climb down. Last time I attempted anything like that!! Something about being that high, all alone, and no safety gear! However, I can climb a 50 foot tower and rappel down all day long. Still, I cant imagine ever climbing a drag-line boom again (my fat arse aside!)
