    With each passing year, this is what I feel like putting up Christmas lights on my single story house.  

    I started getting dizzy watching this.

    I think the wide-angle GoPro shot makes the peak seem much more acute than it actually is, but still.... holy chit.

    If you want to get that tingly feeling in your feet and that pucker in your... watch some of those videos that were quite popular a few years ago of those crazy Russians that play on the top of tall buildings and hopping along tower cranes. I always have to make sure I'm seated when watching these otherwise I'd get vertigo and faceplant.

    Here's one sample:

    At least the Matterhorn guys aren't hanging on by their fingernails...

    Note: I haven't watched any of these free solo vids - nor will I.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I don't consider myself to be afraid of heights but that's freakin nuts. I don't know how they do it.

    Free Solo - the movie - is worth watching.  There are points when the guys who are professional climbers can’t bring themselves to watch him.

    Granted he used a balance pole but give this a look-it's not Go-Pro video but quite a feat none the less.

    I bet it's windy up there.  I wouldn't be too motivated to walk around anyone up there.
