Brave Climber

Last time I was at the Garden of the Gods, I sat and watched this little boy climb. He couldn't have been more than 6 years old. His Dad went up first and sat at the top coaching and cheering his son up. When the boy reached his Dad, his Dad scooped him up and gave him a high five while all of us spectators cheered from below. I like to rock climb and rappel, but this particular spot would have been scary to me at that age (it might be scary to me now). I'm constantly amazed by children - their fearlessness, their determination, their eagerness to please. It goes to show you can do anything you set your mind to.
