Euromillions vs Your Phobia
Discussion
You have a phobia; it may be thunder or cats or farts or Neil Chambers. Whatever.
Someone offers you £120 million to suffer your phobia for one minute.
What do you do?
Mrs O would not stand in a room full of spiders for one minute. Not even for millions of £. I hate spiders, but would do the same for a room full of notes. She asked me the same question, and I would not do this for any money whatsoever:-

Even with £millions sitting at the top, and knowing that the tower won't fall over, I hate heights and the thought of "unclipping" at any point gives me the screaming heebee jeebies. I suspect that, in 200 years time, someone would find me still clinging on to a rung; a wracked and scarred skeleton with my jaw bone still going

I think this would happen to me... I would HAVE to try, I'd attempt to MAKE myself do it... but I suspect that my entire body would simply stop functioning at some point along the way. Even the video made me hold on to the sofa tightly!

I expect climbing up isn't as bad as climbing back down
I have to climb the distillation columns at work occasionally, getting up is ok but I find my hands really hurt from gripping the ladder rungs on the way down. At least we have platforms every 20-30 feet so it's nothing like that radio mast but I am still really uncomfortable going up and delegate when ever I can.

I could manage the ladder and inside sections, and maybe even that side ladder, but I hate climbing ‘backwards’ over those sections between ladders where you have a lip to climb over that is effectively behind you. Unpleasant.
But the top bit... no thanks !
Yes... and he only seemed to clip on when he stopped; very little protection. Not for me.But the top bit... no thanks !

Honestly, that video is appalling
So a gold button at the top you have o push to get the cash. And some kind of climbing veloceraptor set loose below you... Honestly, that video is appalling
