Generally speaking, getting off a climb is often more dangerous than the climb itself. Rapelling off soomething I'd climbed, especially when the descent route was different than the climb always gave me a severe case of the willies. My daughter was born while I was just starting g-school and had daylight to kill. She spent most of her waking hours for the first couple years at the climbing gym or in the mountains. We have tons of snaps with her in the baby carrier next to pile of rope, in the stroller by a belay point, scrambling up walls before she could walk, climbing the fireplace to the roof at age 3... Fair warning! The S/O and I eventually moved on to a different outdoor pursuit (surfing & kayaking) after I had a couple close calls with a frozen waterfall. However, the daughter still wants to climb everything. The son who came later naturally wants to spend all his waking moments in the water. Our poor kids...

My daughter has taken up a new sport which consist of climbing tall things like trees, buildings, bridges, and mountain sides, and then propelling down them with a harness and rope. The Kodak Supra 400 I used here has more contrast than I like. http://photocritique.net/g/s?00jQGn Allan - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
