I'm not overly fond of heights, but I can handle being up once I'm there! It's the getting there that bugs me out! Climbing a ladder is pretty bad - I don't know why, I'm not afraid of falling!- but once I'm on a roof or whatever, I'm ok!! It's the motion, I guess!!! And riding in an airplane doesn't bother me either, but dang! the take off can put me in a fetal position! Landing doesn't seem to bother me, either.
But it's good to know I'm not alone!! Believe it or not, when I realized what the problem was (in my early 30's!) I felt much better!! I was like "HA! I'm not afraid of heights, just going up!"
