    Scared of heights

    I also thought of the sand dune between 2 beaches. Two of our group were not nervous but the third one was. I do remember thinking that if it was wet it would be slippery. I think if you feel strong and trust your leg muscles, you will feel fine. But I think there is a way around without the climb.
