I'm AMAZED at how many of you pu**ies are afraid of heights!











Add me to the list! I'm TERRIFIED of heights. I can MAKE myself do it, if I really feel pressured to do something. Eiffel Tower? I had a death grip on that mutha!

is too beaucoup for me.

I'm not afraid of heights (Mt.Scott is only 20 miles away, Deb and myself travel to the top all the time so I can bounce from boulder-to-boulder like the idgit I be.) so I could hack it...

No way....
If I wanted to do something like that, I would continue to Vegas, and beers on top of the Stratasphere! Maybe ride the Big Shot while I'm there.

granted, nature is ruined virtually everyday. i just think the purpose here is completely self-serving -- to make money off of tourists by having them pay $25 to stand on something that they allege (allege being the operative word) to be safe in the name of a cheap thrill. i just feel like that's one thing that hasn't been touched. yes, hotels have been built on its edges and in the canyon there are attractions -- but it's not something as un-naturalistic as this picture. i don't know -- i just don't like it.

I would do it too. I doubt they would let people on it if it weren't safe.

I'll sit my ass on the ground and watch you go. I'm not falling a million miles down into nothing because ryan "doubts" it would be unsafe

Well besides, I figure if I do fall to my death, I probably won't feel it.

That's really ugly, I'm surprised it has been granted permission to build that thing. Isn't Grand Canyon protected as a Heritage of Humanity or something like that?
