Royal Gorge, Colorado. Height of about 1,200 feet I think, but it seems like miles.

Talking about heights, thinking about them, standing on the ground and looking up at a tall building makes me feel faint, the boys crawl up into the torso, and i almost have a full out panic attack. I can't deal with heights at all.

I would only be scared if there were no parapet, or a very short one. Basically, if there's no/very little risk of my falling I have no fear of it. I never got scared looking up, though. Never thought that would scare anyone...

He doesn't have to climb towers - its a pleasure for him - he owns the
company, which manufacturers antennas and towers.
