One thing I have always feared....

is standing on the edge of a cliff. It terrifies me. NOT heights, per se.. I'm ok with heights as long as I'm not on the edge of a cliff.

So I'd have to say that my one endeavor that you could say was 'seeking danger' took place not that long ago.... just before my heart attack... which ended the danger seeking, was mountain climbing... the kind with ropes and pitons and dangling in a hammock 1,000' off the ground.

I wasn't going to try Mt. Everest but a major climb, probably in Yosemite. I wanted to confront that 'fear'. I was quite serious about it. I got over it. After the heart attack I lost that need to confront my greatest fear... today I'm perfectly ok with NOT standing on the edge of cliffs.

And oh, I forgot... the ocean scares the hell out of me. I often tease about that saying it scares me because there are things in the ocean that don't want me in there with them... but that's not really the reason.. it's the ocean itself that scares me.... not sharks or any other creature that swims the deeps. NOT that I'd want to meet up with a shark, or that if I did I'd be cool and calm.. most likely I'd piss my pants if that happened... but it's not something that plays on my mind. I'm far too terrified of the ocean itself to worry about sharks or any other ocean creature. - JamesJM
