These are the kinds of heights I mean!
Afraid of heights?

Willing to hang by one hand off of a 20+ story building like one of the pics posted?
Also
Iām UTTERLY terrified of heights! Canāt go past the third step on a ladder.
I am afraid of heights.
I don't even like climbing tall ladders, and I will not get on the roof.
(I'm not that coordinated, so it's actually risky for me.) 
After around 50ā or so is when I start to sweat like a marathon runner.
Do you mean something like this?

Over the left shoulder is approx 300 feet to the ground. No one has ever climbed this before and I am climbing solo. I slung that horn on top and rappelled, there was some consternation if the top would flop over with my body weight.
To an extent, I am very uncomfortable with heights, but not quite terrified! I have some difficulty climbing onto the roof of my house (which is about 12'+ high) via a step ladder!
But the unpleasantness can be considerably mitigated if there is some form of secure support which eliminates (or at least considerably minimizes) the possibility of a fall!
No way would I climb long vertical or near vertical ladders, for example, unless I had safety gear such as a harness, rope etc!
Cycling along a narrow ledge like that is extremely dangerous, I couldn't do it! And definitely not hanging off a beam with ONE hand!! I don't have the strength for a start, and it is extremely dangerous anyway.
Climbing up hills etc is not much of an issue, provided I have safety gear.
Ditto.
A trip like the one below in the Jura does not scare me.
But since I do almost every trip only one time I try to be as careful as possible.
So I do hate it when some 9yr old local kid is breathing down my neck and asks if I canāt go any faster :smiling_imp:
Fear of falling. If Iām in something with sides, heights arenāt so bad. Like a roller coaster for instance.
If itās a protected situation, like a rail or tether, no. But if itās unprotected? Like, youāre at the edge of a precipice above a very long drop that would surely kill youā¦ I get knots in my stomach and an adrenaline rush of fear. When I was in college, a buddy of mine once explored the campus center building and found an accessway was open. We went to the roof. It had NO guardrails. Just a lip of a few inches. You could lay down and hang your head over the side, looking down 20 stories. I absolutely could not get up on the edgeāhad to slink back a few feet before standing up.
I can watch Alex Honnold doing his free climbing in areas where he has NO protection, but as he makes his way over a seemingly impossible traverseā¦ like barely 1ā hand grips where heās hanging on by his fingers, or climbing underneath an overhang that he then proceeds to climb over? I canāt watch. This guy has no fear of falling. But, while his instincts are so very good to keep him from death, there are unforeseen circumstancesā¦ plus, his own biology. He could at any moment get a cramp. And if that happens? Heās toast.
Yes, execpt in a harness like in rope courses. If I know Iām safe itās completely gone.
Yeah, im with Boosted. Iām not the least bit afraid of heights, but I have a healthy respect for my limitations so 2 and 4 would be out for me.
At first no ā¦ not until after I went to the Six Flags at the Stone Mountain National Park in Georgia many, many years ago. My friends convinced me to join them on one thrill ride: The Scream Machine.
And yes, I realized that I was quite scared, extremely uncomfortable with the height during the ride.
So I just refused to go on the second one, the Mind Bender. It looked too intimidating, going at a high speed into two or three loopes hanging upside down high up there.
I used to be pretty bad but got a job hanging x-mas lights and got over it pretty fast. That said I aint pushing my luck hanging off a beam with one hand like that. Not doing something because you are afraid and doing something because you are stupid are two completely different things.
Not terrified - I have a long history of enjoying hiking on cliff ledges, taking soaring lessons, etc. But my brain certainly reacts very strongly when I put myself in those positions - I can feel my brain very strongly telling me āthis is not a good place to be.ā And I donāt mind that, as that tells me my brain is functioning as it should. However, I have been able and willing to push past that, with reasonable safety precautions, and enjoy the views from the edge or on high.
Only if Iām not wearing a parachute. Then Iām not terrified; just a little āskeered.ā
