There isn't really much discussion about the physical height of the Final Stage. I would think for most people, it would be at least a small worry.
I think the poll results will be interesting!
I know the height would be scary, but it wouldn't affect my (extremely poor) performance on it.

None exactly apply to me, but I guess the second is closest. I don't mind being high (up, not stoned) at all.. plus even if I cared I was that high I'd know I have the harness and the padding on the ground, hell.. I thought the rope drop thing of the old final stages looked fun!

Uh...I think I have a fear of heights, but not enough to make me freak out, so I picked choice #3.

So I'm not the only one who's thought of heights during the climbing. It just came from imagining what it would be like or how it would feel if you were doing it for real, and a fear of heights would kick in, of course. That adds so much more realism to it.

n.3. I've never had serious height problems, but I never go that high so I guess it would scare me a bit. I like going climbing up, anyway, it's exciting, and feeling the safety cord swinging on my back would help. Plus, there isn't much danger of fall on this one, unless you totally slip on the ladder or let go the rope. The Spider Climb was much different.

How can you have a fear of heights, but 75 feet doesn't bother you?
It wouldn't bother me because harness = safety.

I voted for choice number three. I'd imagine I'd be slightly unsettled due to the fact I've never climbed anything that high before. However, when the adrenaline kicks in and I know I have to climb 75 feet so quickly, I'd probably focus in on making it to the top in time and forget all about the height.

If large heights + safety harness is going to affect you negatively, and especially if you know it's going to... then maybe you should work on overcoming that at home before ever coming to Sasuke?
It's like how some of the seemingly daunting obstacles may seem... daunting... until you practice replicas and be more comfortable with them for when you do the actual thing.
