Climbing the worlds tallest antenna at 1768 feet high... I can not express the levels of anxiety watching this gave me.
When I watch this i keep flipping between two thoughts "what if your hand slips! How many people die doing this"... and "Ok this is really the only big fear I havent conquered, how could i learn to do this".. not that I ever would, it might be too big a fear to get over. But I learned to scuba dive out of a fear of it (partly) and while the first dozen or so dives were very scary after that it wasnt scary at all, now I dive down to where the light doesnt reach and wont bat an eye. I have to wonder, could I maybe learn to overcome a fear of heights the same way? Maybe I should learn to mountain climb...
@freemo
Specific phobias are one of the more treatable mental disorders. Usually by gradual desensitization, which sounds like what you did with scuba diving. Although we have fear for a good reason, so I'm not sure you'd want to extinguish that one!
@Pat well just because I have no fear doesnt imply ill be dancing along high-wires either :)
