Answer 1

get over it and get back on them roofs!!! we need you.

Answer 2

Not an easy thing to overcome. Either by just going back and doing it again (climbing that is), may help overcome your fear.

Answer 3

you dont tar roofs of skyscrapers ..stop telling porkies !

Answer 4

I have a good friend who is a roofer and I asked him once if he is afraid of heights and he said "Oh yeah, when I no longer have a fear, that's when I'll quit roofing." The only real advice I can offer is learn to trust your safety harnesses and stay focused in safety and the job at hand. Inspect and test your safety equipment often. This will help keep your "peace of mind". If this is a continuing problem then you may want to consider another assignment.
