As I've gotten older, my dislike for heights has grown. I'm only 39 but in the past few months I've dislocated a shoulder and twisted a knee either climbing up to an overlook or descending one. As I approach an overlook I start to feel a little dizzy and uneasy. It's so weird. A few days ago I hiked up Maryland Heights, a great trail just north of Harper's Ferry. Even climbing up I had to remain on the interior side of the trail and I didn't even want to get 20 feet to the edge of the overlook (thankful for a zoom lens on my camera).
Anyone else deal with this? I am sure it is mostly mental. Makes hiking certain sections of the AT a little more daunting.
