I guess those men must have simply *no* fear of heights. If they had any
fear at all, the extreme height and lack of protection would render them
incapable of doing anything useful.

What's more scary is the thought of climbing down again, when you'd be
forced to look down and it would be nowhere near as easy to see where
you were putting your feet.

Perhaps its just the realisation that once you are over 30' the outcome
is much the same if you fall off. The only variable is how long you get
to contemplate the mistake!

For most people that realisation doesn't do you much good, and I'd say
the border line was rather higher than that. Vertiginous feelings aren't
purely the result of rational thought.
