Reminds me...Once upon a time, long, long ago I was sitting on 1st belay of Phoenix bringing up second of two beginners on VCC course. Noticed the guy next to me was sitting with his eyes tightly shut and perspiring slightly. Puzzled me since he'd climbed the pitch in reasonably good style. With some prompting he admitted he'd come on the course to overcome his vertigo. Seems the cure wasn't working too well! Climbing with his face to the rock hadn't been too bad, but facing outwards on the belay was too much!

Don't think he opened his eyes as I lowered him back to the deck. Guess he didn't take up climbing after that.
