Heights and Vertigo
I'm not very good with heights. Not sure where it came from to be honest, I think it may be down to falling out of to many tree and landing on my head.
Anyway watching this video made me have butterflys and feel physically sick at times lol http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1438490562 Enjoy

Re: Heights and Vertigo
Nice video, but it makes me really want to go climbing.
I am a climbing instructor and I had a reputation for being a mad solo climber while I was actually working. The stupid bit: I am scared of heights....

Re: Heights and Vertigo
I did some climbing years ago, loved the actual challenge of the climb, never liked topping out though, particularly if it was exposed.

So here you go, me at the top of a 80 foot cliff, note that on this occasion I do have rope.  So who is up for a bit of a session? Need to climb again....

Always fancied having a go at the vis ferrata routes in the Dolomites (?), looks awesome

I have heard of divers who suffer from this fear while diving over very deep water. As for me, I cope because I quite enjoy the feeling, also I am never very far from the ground. It is just vertical instead of horizontal!
