I am afraid of heights, but I would climb that bridge in a heartbeat!

@DocAndersen You definitely made the right decision. It's one of those once-in-a-lifetime situations! You'd be regretting it for the rest of your life if you didn't do it.

Me either. The highest I go is to get in my car then I drive it up the mountain road we have here but that's ok, I feel save because I'm driving.

@LadyDuck i just get a feeling in my stomach when I look down. It is a little unnerving but fainting would be really bad!

@DocAndersen I think we are already used to flying so it doesn´t bother us anymore. We couldn´t see how high we are inside the plane except when we sit at the window.

I am right there with you. Have you ever been on the glass terrace at the top of the Stratosphere in Vegas? I swear, I stepped out there and was trying to hold onto anything I could find to hold onto. I was terrified.

Some heights bother me and others do not. It depends on how secure I feel at the time.

Oh, yikes! I am not good with heights, but force myself to remain cool, calm, and collected. No way could I do that bridge though. I’d get dizzy and fall off. My scariest time was taking a cable car to Mt. Pilatus in the Swiss alps.

Good for you for conquering your fears. I'm sure you don't regret climbing it, do you? My niece and her four girls climbed it just before everything shut down.

@DocAndersen It is a staircase for sure. But, do you feel a bit off - balance on a ladder for example? I don't know others but I do.

it really isn't' a ladder, Its a staircase and then you climb the arch of the bridge.

I don’t remember ever being afraid of heights until I lived on the 12th floor of an apartment building in Honolulu. I kept having dreams about falling out of the window. When I walk the Big Four Bridge (across the Ohio River) I do fine as long as I keep my eyes up or level. If I look down at the river, I’m in trouble.
