Two climbers die in fall from El Capitan in Yosemite National Park

I did some climbing and abseiling as an Army cadet, but only because I had to... I didn't like it

Well, it's obviously not for everybody. I hate heights and despise un-anchored ladders, but once I get roped in, the fear that builds in my gut goes away. I'm still afraid of falling, cause it really hurts, but the paralyzing fear dissipates. I would never knock somebody for not enjoying a sport like this.
