I bought some refrigerated white chocolate macadamia nut cookie dough from my nephew who was fundraising for his marching band's trip to WDW in April and they are currently in the oven and they smell amazing!!! :p
I would freak out being rescued that high up...They would have to pry my hands off that scaffolding. I do not like that kind of heights!

Edit: I think I may have quoted the wrong post.

I did an obstacle course mud run a few months back and at least 4 of the obstacles were climbing up something about 15 feet high, hoisting yourself over the top, and climbing back down the other side. One was a rock wall, one was an A frame wooden ladder, one a rope net ladder one a combination of two of those. The first one (the rock wall) I managed to climb up and then - for lack of better words - freaked the "f" out - and I am probably understating it. I froze. I couldn't move up or down. My friend had to yell in my face to make eye contact with her and talk me down. I skipped the other obstacles because I started shaking just looking at them. If I were on the scaffold I would have passed out. That's part of the reason I can't do big giant coasters - fear of getting stuck.

I seem to remember you posting some pictures of the run...I don't guess there was a picture of you stuck on the wall, huh?
The older I get, the less I can tolerate heights. Maybe it's because I'm shrinking.

There was actually a photographer at the top of the wall but he was shooting the people climbing up and not people once they got over. I suppose if I started screaming and making a spectacle he would have captured the whole thing but I just froze.

When I was in basic training in the late 60's our obstacle course had a 50 ft tower that went straight up. It was made of 2 X 4's and at the top it would sway back an forth with every movement you made. I just did it and tried not to think about it. Apparently, I made it alright. Now that I think about it, it was the late 60's so we were pretty much all high anyway. (Forget I ever said that. It's just a vicious rumor. It never happened. I was not even there officer.)

I'm fine with coasters, but if I lose my grip when doing something like rock climbing and you are just hanging there, that freaks me out. That's why I find these so scary:
