Well the kid will set a record... either youngest person to the summit, or youngest kid dead near the top. Hey, maybe both!

Somebody should slap his parents.

Guy,

Let's be realistic, you're far too selfish to raise children, so you need not worry about what you'll tell your grandkids.

Maybe doing dynos on 5.10c will give you what you need to support a family, to feed and clothe your kids. If thats the case, then you must live a really rich life indeed.

But seriously guy, the rest of us work, we contribute to society. I don't like getting sand in my bathing suit and I'm a lousy swimmer too, so I rock climb instead of sitting on the beach. Once or twice a year, I take a break from my desk, pack up my gear and head for a piece of rock that I can play on for a week. Then I go back to the "Monotony" that you call work so I can make a living, pay my rent, feed my kid and hang out with my "Boring" non-climber friends who still like me for who I am.

Grow up and get this off the front page.
