Free Solo, a great documentary about a guy's attempt to free solo (climb without ropes/safety devices) El Capitan in Yosemite, which is about 2x the height of the Empire State Building.
I’m not sure exactly what the heebie jeebies are, but I can feel my fear of heights in my groin and lower belly. It is as they say, palpable. I can look out ofban airplane with no problem. But the edge of a rooftop without a solid restraint or a cliff in the mountains, I’m petrified. A ledge scene in a movie gives me the same sensation as actually being there.
