My roof has that slope. Every fall, I get up there with one of them lawn landscape blowers, makes short work of the valleys and gutters.

I wait til the sun comes up and dries the roof, and wear sneakers, and still don't like the edges.

As a retired electrician I would routinely go up in bucket trucks 50-70-100 feet to replace/rebuild parking lot and stadium lighting.

I found out that just concentrating on your work takes away any fear of heights one might have.

Then again, when the bucket your working in is swaying in the wind, it does make your butt pucker :-)
