High Rise Rope Access Technician

I feel more comfortable on the side of a cliff near the top roped in than I do standing behind a guard rail at the top of it. It's a strange quirk of mine, I get more anxiety being untethered at the top than securely tethered on the side.

Good Lord asp3 I don't know how you guys do that. I won't even go on the roof of my house. Have you ever climbed up a rock cliff just using your hands?

I value my life and doubt my skills too much to consider free soloing. Although I only climb with my hands and feet, I'm always attached to a rope that should catch me if I fall.

I'm also extremely wary when going on the roof because I don't have a rope on me and no one is belaying me. (Belaying is managing a rope attached to a climber so one can catch them if they fall.)
