Very cool Vinny!

There was the opportunity to rappel down a building in downtown Houston for charity many years ago. I didn't find out until I saw people doing it. That would have been cool.

I agree, lower stuff is somehow more real than high stuff. I used to crawl on the roof of our second story house. I was able to go to the top of the fence, then to the garage roof and then to the house roof. I had no problem wandering around up there. The house that I'm in now has a much, MUCH steeper roof. I've been up there once, and it will make your berries tingle (I guess that's my spidey sense). Getting on/off the ladder and just being up there sucks.

But jumping out of an airplane was absolutely no problem. It didn't seem real or scary or anything.

And as a kid, I climbed a lot of trees.
