Scared and I am not ashamed of it….

,

I am scared to death of heights. Even when I watch a movie like Cliffhanger with Stallone, my knees hurt, and I feel a bit panicked. I am scared to walk mountain trails, and I want to so very badly. I am not sure what it would take. But once, when I was 16, we went to the Garden of the Gods in Colorado, horseback riding through there, then trail riding in Estes Park. That made it less scary for me. I wish it were different. I LOVE THE MOUNTAINS. But for now, I am satisfied with my swamp walks and State Parks trails. Besides, I am too old to be an adventurer and climb mountains now…

    I share you fear…I’m hiker, climber, but scared stiff when my guide dangled me into a hungry frigid crevasse…to teach me how to claw back up. NEVER again.
