Climbing the worlds tallest antenna at 1768 feet high... I can not express the levels of anxiety watching this gave me.
When I watch this i keep flipping between two thoughts "what if your hand slips! How many people die doing this"... and "Ok this is really the only big fear I havent conquered, how could i learn to do this".. not that I ever would, it might be too big a fear to get over. But I learned to scuba dive out of a fear of it (partly) and while the first dozen or so dives were very scary after that it wasnt scary at all, now I dive down to where the light doesnt reach and wont bat an eye. I have to wonder, could I maybe learn to overcome a fear of heights the same way? Maybe I should learn to mountain climb...

Specific phobias are one of the more treatable mental disorders. Usually by gradual desensitization, which sounds like what you did with scuba diving. Although we have fear for a good reason, so I'm not sure you'd want to extinguish that one!
@freemo
Yeah, rationality works just as good as fear (for most people).
