I think it comes down to the parent's responsibility. Were the parents climbers ?

I have 5 children. 4 are past that 'magical' age of 18 ... and it ain't all that magical.

If you haven't started letting them be responsible for their safety by about 8 years old, they will likely be relatively unprepared when they are 18. Parenting irresponsibly cuts both ways.

But I will say, for me, there are a number of activities that I do for which I don't encourage even my adult children to do. Smile They are totally on their own for making those choices. Examples include climbing and bicycle-commuting to school/work.
