I have always had a somewhat irrational fear of heights. Ever since I was a little girl I can remember hating being up high and looking down, maybe it was a fear of falling that instilled this phobia. This year I decided to conquer my fear, fortunately a friend had booked in some rock climbing lessons for her 30th and I want along. There were quite a few of us up for the challenge, but I told no one about my fear. To be honest I didn’t want to look like a whimp. My fear of falling was helped by the fact that if I fell on the rock an instructor would catch me! Although at one point I thought he may go through the roof! All in all I think the rock climbing experience definitely helped with my fear, here’s hoping I’m cured!
