I actually found looking back over the edge for the climb down the worst bit. It's perfectly natural to be intimidated by heights when, naturally, you can't fly!

I was more concerned about the safety of the metalwork than the height, look ing at some of what was left it's not that secure.

Omg
I'm still shakey after watching this
That clip is up with the all time greats from James Kingston and mustang wanted

Do a search for these guys if you like this sort if thing

I'm bad with heights and struggel to clean the bedroom windows on the ladders and hang the Xmas decorations on the guttering but to help I manage my fears i did the Sydney harbour bridge walk and the skywalk round a skyscraper and Blackpool tower glass walk

Want to go to the grand canon nest and do that walk onto the platform

He climbed down, you would think those type of people would use a parachute.

Usually okay with heights but absolutely f**k that.

Clinging onto the edge of the Knife Edge ridge near Snowdon and doing a "step" was enough for me...

The cable bit was the worst for me, just not knowing if it would hold.

Enjoyed watching that. Got proper stomach wobbles watching.

Thought I'd done quite well climbing up old buildings and even climbing near the top of an abandoned nuclear power plant in Chernobyl but that is too much.

Couple of the lads on my trip did rooftopping and crane climbing. I politely declined the offer of a crane climb in Kiev.

If I go back next year considering climbing The Woodpecker. Duga 3 radar station. Google it. It's huge and you can base jump it. I'd put in a pic but on my phone.
