I will admit to not being keen on spiders...I recall working on a lake for many years, and the wolf or dock spiders were just humongous...
I have been up a few mountains where I had to physically stop and calm myself down because my body/mind had such an intense “DAnger, what are you doing, you idiot?!?!” Reaction.
Up top half dome in Yosemite, for example, I physically could not get closer than 10 yards to the lip...
...and then these two French rock climbers popped over the lip like it was nothing and hiked down. Followed them most of the way. Made me feel like my accomplishment was PeeWee league. 🤣
I was like this on the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland.
Of course, being on the edge of a 700-ish foot cliff with unpredictable wind gusts...yeah, I had a right to have sweaty palms/rapid pulse/etc.
I took this photo - I think it's as close as I got. Whew. Even looking at the photo give me butterflies.
