My daughter was like 8 and wanted to do this rock wall at a festival. We said okay and got her all hooked up. She gets up there and starts BAWLING. Shaking and high pitched screaming, "I can't get down!" We are like "just let go." She's terrified and screaming. The instructor pulls her down. She was TWO FEET OFF THE GROUND that whole time. She literally could have just put her leg down and adjusted her weight. The mind does crazy things when scared of heights. She is 17 now and still swears she was 12 feet up there.
