Really cool.

This part was funny:

"Wait! Don't crawl. If you walk it Rob will buy you a burrito."

"Dad, that juvenile nonsense only works on Lenny."

"Uh, good point. But still, you can do it."

"Maybe but you're too busy taking pictures and I have ten feet of slack."

"Nine. Don't exaggerate."

"Dad, would you like to see my teenage eye roll?"

"Look you can do this. If you don't walk it it's going to be really difficult to work Christine squealing on her belly across TGL into the trip report."

"You'll manage. You know dad if you were a bit nicer to your climbing partners your daughter wouldn't be the only one who'll climb with you."

"Exactly!!!"

That awkward moment when an 11 year old girl has bigger balls then you do.

My uncle and cousin have done the same thing for quite a few years. I think she started in her mid-teens though and this kid looks younger than that.

It's something I would always like to do, but I have a feeling vertigo would stop me before I got too high.
