{ snip a lot of advice about Heath Robinson fall arrest }

People planning to make home-made fall-arrest/work-positioning systems need
to be really careful that they understand the very high forces which can be
involved in arresting a fall, and also the implications of being caught
dangling and injured in a harness with no rescue method. (Basically that
you'll be dead after a few minutes of dangling)

If a lashed-up 'safety harness' encourages you to do wild things at the top
of a ladder, it's made your life more dangerous, not less.

We all have a height tolerance threshold, which increases over time. OP
will just have to get used to it gradually.
