    Pam,
    I could not watch the whole video.
    I was starting to feel light headed. lol
    (I am afraid of heights too.) I walked up the windy stairs of the Statue
    of Liberty and almost did not make it down.)
    When I was younger my X and I walked up one of the trails at
    Yosemite Natl Park. and I was crawling up part of the way on my hands and knees because I was afraid to stand. lol

    That creeped me out more than I thought it would cause I normally don't react to videos the same as I would if it were in "real life". But I caught myself holding my breath a couple times and wincing!!

    I could do that if I wanted to. I just don't want to. Yeah. I can't even walk and chew gum at the same time. I'm going to send this link to my son. He probably won't even be able to watch it. When we went to the the Grand Canyon, he was a real dud. He wouldn't go to the rail and look down. He may as well have stayed home.
    Blessings,

    I felt the same way Gini but I forced myself to watch it all the way through. Then I wrote my BIL and told him how I was practically nauseous. He said "that's why I sent it." Ya gotta love some people!

    I'd love to take that hike - love heights. Trouble is at my age the steps alone would kill me.

    Oh my goodness! I couldn't watch the whole thing either. Less than 2 minutes into it I had to stop so I could breathe. I may try to watch more later.

    That was fun. You could see his or her line, they were probably waring a harness, so it was safe. You can tell I took high adventure for gym class!

    That is intense, so so so beautiful, though! It would take me forever to get through it. One, I would be tiptoeing and would have to pause for breathers, and two...I'd be taking photos of everything. I am so scared of heights, but I'd love to do it...only if I was harnessed to that cable, though.

    I suspect that the camera was attached to a hard hat type thing. did you look at his shadow? His arms aren't raised to hold a camera. And I think he had the harness, and increased the speed for this video, to make it more . . . well, just MORE!

    I laughed at the shadow -- IT was staying well on the inside! Just the sun angle, but it made me chuckle.

    No way I could ever do that myself. I walked up one level on the Eiffel Tower (from level 1 to 2; never went to the top not even in the elevator as we ran out of time);panicked and got 'stuck' for almost 20 minutes. People actually PASSED me!
