When I did Jakes Rake last year I must admit I really did enjoy it and to be honest never found it to be hard just enjoyable and the view form the top was absolutely beautiful. . I would certainly do it again and again

BUT I, and a guess you, are not scared of heights though I have a healthy respect for the dangers.
If Trenchfoot's feelings about heights, which could be viewed as self preservation, are anything like my completely irrational fear of spiders then I have complete respect for him even contemplating this.
