I did some rappelling in the '80s. Nothing too high, mostly the crevasses around Devils Den.
I'm also afraid of heights. I learned this in 1982 about 50 yards down a trail along the top of Hemmed-In Hollow. Tripping balls. Trent, the three legged Wolfhound, didn't mind the trail was one bad step from a 200 foot drop. I told myself, you don't stumble when walking down a sidewalk. You're not gonna stumble here. Didn't help.
The old folks told me not to climb the bluffs in the Bostons because the rocks break. People do it these days. I'd hate to grab handful of shale.
