Yeah pretty bad.

A few of my mates do rope access painting or fixing things. Ones on the rigs now dangling about over the sea in nasty winds. Not for me either :lol:

This reminds me you don’t see any new videos of those YouTubers who used to climb canes and other tall structures any more. Probably all dead now.

I used to be pretty good with heights, then I tried taking photos of the arc on the roof of a 40 storey tower, and again a few years later looking up at once of the main structures of the Golden Gate bridge - both times the viewfinder resetting my view for a moment while knowing I was high off the ground sent me into proper vertigo.

Ever since then it's gradually been getting worse...

I cannot even watch that video without spacing out :lol:

I’ve experienced that camera thing when in the mountains. I think, when you focus through the viewfinder, you loose your peripheral vision and therefore some control over your environment

I’m pretty good with heights, but this is pretty extreme. This vid got me as i kept thinking it was finished, and instead it kept getting madder :)

Anything above about 20 storeys and I start getting very jittery. Weirdly I'm totally fine in any kind of aircraft at any height.
