Heights used to not bother me. Now I don't even like getting onto my roof.
I hear that - when I was a kid we used to play up on old railroad trestles - 70' off the ground over the river (or more tracks) and climbed around on them like monkeys. I was up cleaning my gutters over the weekend and kept getting vertigo looking down at the 30' to the ground while tied to the chimney with a tow rope.

Yeah--that would be an instant panic attack for me.
I get the heebie-jeebies just thinking about being up that high. shudder
I tease wild bears for a living. When you're slapping a bear around, cold weather is the last thing on your mind.

I've heard a wife called many things but never a bear.
Well, you know . . . I like to scare their cubs. I wait in bushes until they're right there and then I jump out and yell, "Hey Bear! Boogety boogety boogety!" Then when their mother comes out, I slap her in the face and make off-color comments about her mother.

Angelenos are like bees. They stop moving when the temperature drops below 60 degrees. Women wear big wool scarves and Uggs when the temp drops below 70. A transplanted New Englander can wear shorts every day of the year. The only sign of winter's impending arrival is watching NFL games and seeing bundled up fans.
How much do those towers sway in a high wind? That would be the scary part for me.
