        I have a fear of heights.

        I broke my ankle in a life altering way falling down two stairs unto a sidewalk. That, to me, justified my already reasonable fear of heights.

        I don’t understand why this is the “Thank God” ledge rather than the “Oh My God!” or similar ledge.

          My guess would be “Thank God I can take a little break here, my hands and arms had started shaking with exhaustion… I wonder if a helicopter could come close enough to drop a rope to me?”

          Apparently it’s 1800 feet up and “only” another 200 feet to get to the top of that climb.

          Or so I’m reading from safe in my bed!

            That’s a fair interpretation, I suppose.

            Still, I think the only thing I would be thinking there would be some variation of “why the hell did I come up here and how soon can I be safely back aground!”

        Is my memory failing me and she actually did say “fuck that” and they dubbed it over with “screw that”?

          They did. Apparently, it threatened the films PG rating. If they left it in, it would’ve been PG-13.
