No, no, and hell no! Not with my fear of heights--or more accurately, my fear of falling from heights. My knees get shaky when I'm on the upper rungs of a ladder.
Fancy that... we have something in common. They say to face your fears so I keep doing things in high places to try and overcome it but the fear keeps getting worse. The absolute worst are those damn outside elevators made of glass that go up 100 stories. Once I had to attend a small meeting on the balcony of a hotel meeting room about 50 stories up. I put my chair half in the room and half on the balcony... that way I could always fall backwards into the room when the bolts holding the balcony gave way. :)

I can do those for the most part. As long as there's some sort of barrier that I can tell myself would keep me from falling off. What I will never, ever do is that glass walkway over the Grand Canyon because of the glass floor part. They'd be scraping me off the floor whimpering in a fetal position. And having to pay them over $100 for the "privilege". Uh uh, no way, not going to happen.
