Fortunately you have ground below you, so it should not be that bad.

At least that is how it usually goes for me.

Good luck climbing down.

You would think that anyone who spends as much time getting and staying high as Bung wouldn’t have that problem.

global warming, the snow cap has melted

The way they are shown (almost like hanging on) behind the peak makes it seem like this might just be a two-dimensional cutout of a mountain peak. Maybe they could climb a mountain on the moon or Mars next?

I never climbed a mountain, but I have climbed some stairs.

Probably.

Well if you are afraid of heights I’d suggest you NOT climb up on that flagpole!

If they were really climbing Mt. Everest, then where are their oxygen tanks?

I hate it when people bang on about their phobias.

I have a terrible fear of heights, but you won’t find me shouting about it from the rooftops.

I was going to buy a book on phobias

But i was afraid it wouldn’t help me

Heights that are taller than a barstool, Bung?

I’m not buying it. On the 10th he was hanging off a cliff on a rope and enjoying the feeling of flying.

You’re not too far up from the tree line.

Success!!!!!

what happened to the Duke

Remember, it is not the fall that kills you, it s the sudden stop at the end.

Who let the jester plant the pee flag?

Don’t worry Bung, only the King will be allowed to view from the top.

Bung shouldn’t be afraid of heights. It only hurts when you hit the ground when you fall from them.

If you fall to the left will end up in Napal. If you fall to the right you will end up in Tibet. Either way your “Toast”!

Yes, Bung, this is a bad time. Why not mention this earlier?

Yes.

The falling isn’t so bad, it’s just the sudden stop that ruins the experience.

Sort of…..

I don’t mind the height, I just hate the plummeting.

Well, there’s no place higher!

AND you conquered your fears whether you know it or not…..

Bung need a drink… One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.

Better than “I have to use the bathroom”

And hardly any oxygen….

And very little oxygen….

Actually, your timing is perfect!!

Is it still, “afraid of heights,” if I’m only afraid of heights from which the fall would kill me, or is that just self preservation?

Funny, all that snow they waded through to get to the top and there isn’t any snow there?

It’s quite amazing that they can use their large noses to help climb.

You’re not high, you’re still standing on the ground. Apparently you’re afraid of ELEVATION.

We’re already at the top, why would we care if you’re afraid of heights

How did Bung Cross all the Crevasses ?

Deja Vu…

Excelsior!
