For me going up is not a problem, it's on the decent that fear starts to creep into the back of your mind when you start to look over the edge of the road.
The scariest pass our group has driven was Gavia Pass, near Stelvio - a few years back. Gavia had guard rails at the lower sections but once you got half way up in the clouds and fog, there was NOTHING keeping you from going over!! No guard rails! Plus... the road was only wide enough for one car(there WAS two way traffic)! There were some pull over spots... but once again there was nothing to keep you from going over the edge! Man when I think back to Gavia Pass I still break out into cold sweats.
And then there is that very narrow tunnel in Stelvio. This guy in the red Golf really should have just backed up instead he crashed his car into the tunnel's wall.
