that will do it.
actually, i never thought iw as either. then i was dropped while climbing
a few years ago.
and then when we started doing multipitch this year, i discovered i can't
stand going to the edge and looking down.
i can now get within 2ft of the edge, but when i'm up way high, i just
stay back and look down, or lay down and look down. or sit and look
down.(:
dave walks with impunity on any and all ledges. i'm jealous.

nokidding. at least when i jumped off the bridge, there wasn't time to
flip out more. although my first jump i went face first, so it felt like i
broke m y nose again.
