To be totally honest, I can also find myself fearful in situations that don't even involve real heights, per se. Almost anyplace where I can trip, slip, or fall gets me nervous. When I fell and smashed my knee on my 3rd day in Maine, I was walking across a piece of granite as flat as a sidewalk...and it ended my hike. I learned a lot from that experience, but perhaps too much: I think I'm more fearful than I "should" be.
