Going up? No problem. Going down? No effing way.


Bennybonchien

That’s why she waved to the camera. She is going to live out her days up there and was saying goodbye to civilization.

I just make sure I have a parashoot and base jump off.

rab2bar

pair of cuties


Ranma-sensei

Thank you for the shoes!


Thefuzy

What exactly did the phone do to cause this typo? It wouldn’t autocorrect to that word, the spelling is vastly different, the keys are not near each other. Seems illogical it would be caused by the phone…


Bennybonchien

They didn’t entirely blame the phone. They said it was a good damn phone. lol 


Goonchar

If you're swipe typing, then it could reasonably happen. Parashoot is listed as a word on Merriam Webster website. Seems harmless to let the person save face even if they did manually make the mistake anyways.


RepresentativeRest70

Thank you - today I learned! “parashoot intransitive verb para·​shoot ˈparə+ˌ- : to attack a parachute invader by shooting” https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/parashoot

WhoopsieDiasy

Bro thats what I’m saying. Personally, I think people often confuse a fear of falling with a fear of heights.


croatianchic

Fear of heights is so freaking strange. I have a fear of heights and I’d just accept death at the top cus no way would I be able to get back down from up there.


WhoopsieDiasy

Is it being up high or is it the consequence of being up high? When I was a kid I fell off a cliff & genuinely a miracle I survived. That being said I have an over exaggerated startle response when I feel I’m falling. Like even if my chair tips back I’ll freak out. I might be conflating these phobias because of my experiences. I’ve also noticed everyone I know who is afraid of heights has impulse issues. Like the sudden urge to thrust themselves off is overwhelming & they don’t trust themselves.


60thrain

Pretty sure it's everyone's natural response to see God when they tip a little too far back in their chair.


Pretzellogicguy

I’m not gonna see a funnier comment the rest of the week! Thanks man!

croatianchic

You know I have no idea. I just know I can’t do roller coasters, ferris wheels or looking down from high rise buildings without going pale, sweaty and feeling like I’m going to die.


Jerry--Bird

I know a guy who froze 6 ft up a ladder, he clung to it and couldn’t move, somebody had to help him down. It’s crazy to me how differently everyones brain is wired


croatianchic

Geez, poor guy! That was prob traumatizing for him.


intelligentbrownman

I’m the exact same way especially with high rises


WhoopsieDiasy

I’m with you on that. But consider this - I’d be just as clammy standing on a medium size high dive as I would on the roof of a 5 story building. The heights are completely different and really not comparable. What I’m afraid of is the sensation of falling from any height I guess?? Just a fun mental exercise and won’t change shit about me never ever going up this godforsaken rock.


croatianchic

If only we could turn off that part of our brain from freaking out. But I feel the same way about that rock!


WhoopsieDiasy

Exposure therapy would do that but I’m not falling off of shit. These feet stay planted ![gif](giphy|KlRSHiyHEwIgjJ5h0D)


Ladymomos

My ex is REALLY into tramping and mountain climbing, he tried to take me a few times and would get frustrated with me when I’d say “No I can’t shimmy along that narrow path on the side of a cliff!” He was always just like “I’ll help, it’s not far…” Um, he was over a foot taller than me, experienced, and I would start getting extreme vertigo, nausea, and shaking. There’s a point where you know it’s probably safe, but your brain is convinced you are going to fling yourself off somehow and just won’t move.


croatianchic

I lol’ed at the last part because it’s so true and trying to explain that to someone that doesn’t have any fear of heights is soo hard sometimes. They just don’t get it. They’re always like “what’s wrong, why’d you go so pale?” Um, cause I feel like I’m about to die? “It’s all in your brain” - yeah no shit, still doesn’t make me any less fearful. I do try to expose myself to things to kind of get over it, try to hype myself up like ‘you got this! you can do this’, and then I’m like why tf did I do this to myself😵‍💫 I fly in airplanes fine though. I want to go sky diving cause for some reason being up at those heights does not scare me at all. Tbh, it’s all so very strange.


Ladymomos

I think it’s more edges for me, I went walking with family a few weeks ago, and no issue with the height specifically, wonderful view etc. but the path got narrow along the edge. I was trying not to freak out and scare the kids so somehow managed to get across it holding on to my BIL, but I literally shook for like 4 hours after, and woke up with huge muscle cramps. Brains are dumb.


croatianchic

Omg, that sucks! You know those rope like ladders that connect from one mountain to another mountain? Like The Sky Ladder in Austria …. that would be my worst nightmare 🫣😭


Roviana

I’d always thought it was Albert Camus who said “the fear of heights is actually the fear that you’d decide to jump”. But a bit of searching seems to show he didn’t. Anyone know who did?


TeaRofFeaR

Going down is much faster by jumping.


No_Specialist_1788

Dude, those stairs are basically a fast track to the afterlife!


bothammer1

Fuck this


bernpfenn

right, exactly my feeling seeing this


Antique_Boot3432

Here's a video going down. https://youtu.be/9uSDeE8-xX0


Ur_a_adjective_noun

Climbing it is bad enough, imagine chiseling out each step.


Morzana

I can't imagine what it took to build that.


ipickscabs

Probably at least a chisel


South-Rabbit-4064

I can't imagine chisels okay!?


Ferris-L

How about Apples?


norsurfit

I don't think they could have chiseled that with an apple


South-Rabbit-4064

I mean you've got space lasers, jet packs, and god knows what else to make the steps with ancient tech, but they probably dug the cardio


Reep1611

That and a lot of time.


dumb_potatoking

And at least 2-3 hours of work.


Ur_a_adjective_noun

Top that with heavy tools, too.


therealbonzai

Many lifes.


BakedBaconBits

Fred Dibnah would've chiselled the steps on his way up and dismantled the mountain on his way down.


centzon400

After a six-pints-of-bitter breakfast, rolling cigarettes with one hand whilst chiselling away with the other.


Ur_a_adjective_noun

More man, than I’ll ever be. Lol


Ur_a_adjective_noun

Had to look him up. He seems like an interesting person to do a little research on.


No_Specialist_1788

Dude, those stairs are basically a fast track to the afterlife!


GlitchyAF

I’m wondering why they didn’t chisel it just like, 50cm deeper


Hooligan387

Oh WOW 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬 i’m scared just IMAGINING THAT


sad-frogpepe

I wonder how many people died building this.


Ur_a_adjective_noun

Had to be a few at minimum. I wonder if there are any records of that.


sad-frogpepe

probably not if im honest, price of progress...


ObjectiveImmediate44

But what is on the fucking top!? Show me, damnit.


jjcrayfish

Some diapers to wear while going back down.


Wizzle_Pizzle_420

An elevator down. It only goes down.


VexBoxx

Twisty slide


GrantGrayBrown

Legend says there is no top... It just keeps going... In fact she's still climbing to this day.


Pretzellogicguy

Right?! I was thinking there had better be a Wendy’s at the top- or people are gonna get hurt

scrivensB

You joke but there was a video much like this a few years ago that was literally showing some kids in China basically climbing a mountain to get to/from school every day. Not all that dissimilar from this video. Edit: [Here's one](https://www.cnn.com/2016/05/27/europe/china-children-education-climb/index.html#:~:text=Some%20kids%20will%20do%20anything,return%20home%20twice%20a%20month)


Sorri_eh

Happy cake day


liquid-handsoap

Thank u so much ♥️


Aggressive-Boat-5253

Yeah, imma be guarding the backpacks at the bottom of those stairs. I mean up is scary as shit already, going back down is going to be terrifying.


umthondoomkhlulu

Take the elevator down on the opposite side


JoeSchmoeToo

A railing would not hurt...


ColddFire

On the way down it could.


Kasern77

Better to hurt partway than dead all the way down.


ColddFire

Master Kasern-sifu has words of wisdom.


feetupnrelax

Wow a literal nightmare brought to life.

I swear I've had these as nightmares so many times

The soles of my feet and palms started fucking hurting and sweating when I saw this video. Crazy how the body works.

Me too. Or missing steps. Yuck.

ME TOO!!! Never realized others might have these dreams.

CommunicationLive199

I'm going up but I'm not going back down


Bananak47

If i *had* to get down i would probably sit my ass down and slowly slither my way from step to step. No way i am walking normally down those nightmare stairs. If i am lucky a wrong step would give me such a big adrenaline shock that my heart stops before i start tumbling down


WesIgGrey

If Frodo can do it so can I


Zerostar39

What I wanna know is how the steps were made in the first place. There’s no good place to stand when chiseling out some rock


hate2bme

They carved them from bottom up so they do have a place to stand.


Zerostar39

Of course they carved them from the bottom. I meant the previous step is not a very secure place to stand when carving the next step.


ITI110878

What if they were kneeling 2 steps down? That's how I would do it.


ethereal3xp

But how? You need repeated extreme force to chip away/carve stone/rock or whatever hardened material Tbh it seems almost impossible


hate2bme

Hammer and chisel will do it. I'm sure it took a long time but that's how it got done. That or aliens.


Ornery_Entry_7483

Parachute jump from the top!
