My fear of heights has caused me to limit the things which I do. As embarrassing as it may sound, I have never climbed a tree. After thinking of it thoroughly, I decided to try it out. The only reason why I was afraid was that I did not want to fall and break my bones. Now, I discovered that there are certain tree climbing gears which I could use.
I made sure that I had a helmet and tree climbing spikes. I am sure that you are familiar with the helmet. It is used to protect my head from being hurt. The spikes are quite a new thing for people like me. I never thought that there are spikes that can be attached to shoes. These would help in climbing since they prevent slipping or falling from the tree. Shoes are secured in every step. I made sure I had this so I would not fall down.
I never knew that climbing a tree is fun! It was a good thing that I brought these safety gears with me. I was not afraid that I would fall down from the tree. I overcame my fear of heights and achieved something in my life! I might try and climb trees eventually if I can.
