People are freaking nuts to do stuff like this. No way I could even make it to that the ladder. The climb there is bad enough.

I'm deathly afraid of heights. This was freaky crazy.

As long as I’m clipped in I would have no problem with doing it.

I mean you're tied off the whole time.

Would some of y'all seriously not do this?

Not on a Chinese made one

And I hate heights. I see no thrill in climbing something high up. I can avoid falling to death by not climbing up something high

Wouldn’t even watch someone else do this from an enclosed room at ground level.

Same, I have terrible vertigo at heights. If it were on a trail I would be fine, but not anything manmade.

You are until you frick up and don't have the rabbit ears properly placed. I have seen veteran rock climbers frick up rope management hundreds of times.* Add in people not used to heights and rope management, and things definitely can go wrong. Those levels of exposure suck a lot of bandwidth out of a person's brain that isn't comfortable.


* I've done it more times than I would like to admit and would probably never climb again if I actually knew how many times I have cheated death. The ones I do know about are sobering enough.



ETA I should note there are a lot of times if they fell, even if properly secured, it wouldn't be a picnic to get back on the ladder, and there is no option to bail out once you get gripped.

What's Scarier ? The Height of the ladder and the chance you fall? or the fact that the ladder was made in China and you are way up there on it?
