Oh good, I thought it was just me. And it's only free standing or leaning ladders too. I'm happier climbing a 20ft rope ladder than I am on our 8ft ladder trying to put Xmas lights up. I just never feel safe on it, even with someone holding the bottom. I'm fine with flying, I'm fine being up tall buildings on glass floors, I enjoyed parascending and rock climbing when I was younger, but I absolutely hate looking up from the ground at tall structures. If the sky is completely blue and cloudless, I'm not too bad, but if there is a single moving cloud anywhere near my field of view I feel instantly quite sick. Sort of reverse vertigo - it's really weird. |
