climb up the cathedral's tower".
I
try to reassure myself, thinking,“These
cracks have been here for hundreds of
years. No doubt these walls
have been stabilized with hidden cables
and steel bars. They would
not let us be up here if it wasn’t
safe, would they?”

My friend
returns and encourages me to
explore. I head down the
passageway, keeping my shoulder
close to the wall. When I
eventually return to the catwalk,
it is with a feeling of great
relief.
Do
you really need to be fearful
about climbing up the tower? I do
not believe you do. But,
those of you with fear of
heights will find it challenging
to venture out and onto the
walkways at the top of the
cathedral. I do not have a big
fear of heights, but for some
reason the height combined with
the wall cracks generated more
anxiety than normal for the
situation. None of the other
tourists seem to share my anxiety.
If you decide to bypass the tower climb, you will
miss experiencing some of the
best views of the cathedral.
