So it’s a well known fact that I am afraid of heights. Well, not everyone knows this, but I have confirmed it. Many times. I can’t handle it. I get sweaty, my heart races, I get all panicky, I worry about falling off the edge. It’s a phobia at its best, because there is usually no threat of danger. It’s just a simple irrational fear, and it grips the very centre of your core.
So we went hiking in Calpe, the usual "no threat of danger" did not apply here. It has steep cliffs, with no guards, and it juts straight up out of the ocean. It appears as though it’s an island from afar, but upon further recon it is indeed attached to the mainland.
I digress, ok so I recorded some videos at different stages throughout the climb to journal my ascent into the clutches of total fear.
WARNING: These videos are rated Mature. The subject matter may contain vulgar language, including swearing in several languages, cursing out my friend, and taking the lord’s name in vain. If anyone takes offence to such vocabulary, then viewer discretion is advised.
PS: I don’t remember swearing at all while climbing hahahaha, it wasn’t until I watched the videos that I realized how bad it was. I think it’s hilarious because I don’t swear that often, it just shows how frightening of an experience it was for me. I was wigging out due to the height of the climb, and the sheer cliffs all around me dropping into the utter dark abyss below.
