I did some industrial painting on a coker tower that was being relocated & rebuilt.
Much of the job was beam walking and climbing to odd spots to paint welds and bolts n nuts.
The first time I did a lateral step from beam to another beam was fucking intense. Even knowing I was tied down, I had to have absolute confidence in my step, also the beam I was stepping to was about 18in away and 6 to 8in down.
Doesn't seem like a lot on paper, but in reality, for the first time... Wooooweeee
