I'd like to reiterate what the last poster said about being a genius and still making poor choices. There's a reason why we don't give 11-year olds driving licenses or why we're appalled when we see them on the news b/c they've been left home alone to take care of the others- they are just kids. Furthermore, they're kids at the crux of reason- yeah, a 4 year old might not know to go climbing a 60 foot wall is bad not a great idea, but I question whether an 11-year old has that distinction either? They also have the added confusion of peer pressure. The adults here do need to bear some responsibility. Would you let a random 11-year old belay you?
No-one answered the question I'm curious about- at least I didn't see- did he climb a little and then fall a long way past where he'd started, or did he climb up the full 60 feet?

Moderators, do not delete these post. I have learned much from this. It appears that we have an insecure child that has managed to bring the rest of these adults down to his level. He cries out for attention, and they give it to him, he swallows this up, immortilizing himself for all future to see his grasp for manipulation.
He wins in his mind, you all happy now.

Hey man there the BSA. I am almost an Eagle Scout and let me tell you I've seen many stupid kids in my troop. I mean look at the tragedy at Nationals. Two of my best friends were sent to the hospital because of heat-illness. They put kids in an open field for three hours no water, they were told they couldn't get water. The BSA just said sorry and that was it. You can't touch them there like the mafia man.
Peace out
