I had to walk I-beams 4 inches wide over 60 feet up with a belt harness. We knew if we fell that we may only have minutes to be rescued. I never had a problem looking down, looking up was worse for me, but I never fell.
Clouds moving overhead would give me a sensation of falling if I was standing at high elevations, but didn't bother me as much sitting.My middle brother was a high rise welder... walking like you said, many stories above.
I didn't have a problem looking up or down when tower climbing. But when I got older, a quick look up would send me into vertigo, and then I really had to hold on if I wasn't already strapped in.

If I start taking less time getting nookie I will travel into the past!Didn't feel old but knew I was when getting the nookie was taking less and less and less time. Soon it gets to the point where minutes are now seconds. What's next is un imaginable. Yep it's happening.

I was superman when I was young. The older welders would tell me I needed to protect my knees, and my response would be, "Pffft! I can work on my knees all day". Now I'm the old welder telling the young bucks, "You had better protect your knees."Knees. Loved to run long distance.

That's why I sold all my bikes in 2005.The older you get, the longer it takes to heal up from accidents.
I sold and traded off all my dirt bikes in about 2000. That stupid gene I have when I get on a dirt bike or ATV and old age don't go together.That's why I sold all my bikes in 2005.
After the last wreck, and shattering my ankle.

The last crash I had on dirt bike, I fractured my hip, four ribs and a vertebrae in my neck. Took me a few months to heal up from that one. Painful too.
