Question:
What if I'm afraid of heights?
Answer:
A good deal of acrophobia has to do with relativity. No, not what Einstein talked about. But seeing objects moving in relation to one another. At 11,000 feet, the ground is a long way off and you can't really tell that you're above anything. Not like climbing a ladder where you can see objects and gauge your distance from them. At something like 2,500 feet, the ground becomes too far away to worry about and acrophobia goes away.
You probably know better than anyone what you can handle. But we did have someone who is acrophobic tell us that they'd rather jump out of a plane than climb a step-ladder. (They did a tandem and enjoyed it thoroughly.)
