I don’t care much for heights, so, I wouldn’t sleep a wink. Then again, I’d have probably soiled myself in the first 100 ft of the climb.

The thing is, big wall climbing, especially when aid climbing, it's sort of like working for a moving company. You lift shit, drag shit, tie this to that. There's a phrase, actually the name of a route: Steep is Flat. Your eye/brain is used to having a horizontal reference plane. Even if you live in the hills, it's like your brain finds its own natural level. When I used to climb walls often, I got very used to exposure, even was addicted to it. Somewhere in the range about 400-600' off the ground, my brain would flip and the plane of the wall would become my eye/brain reference plane. You know that the "real" down is still there, and it will kill you, but you are in a battle with gravity and that's all that matters. Lift all that heavy shit, over and over.
 
OK, I just sent this to my wife who works at the university bookstore to see if she can source the book for us. I'm probably going to commit suicide tonight by stabbing myself and firing two shots in the back of my head before dragging myself out into the desert to be eaten by the coyotes...

But at least she'll probably find an ISBN number for ya.....

Just 'sayin

P.S. Tell your better half it was all my fault. I'll unscrew her from the ceiling and tell her you are a great husband. Really. My bad. I have this effect on marriages.
