I'm making plans for it and Im 15.. its probably been done by someone younger though... I wonder what the youngest ascent of Slesse's NEB is? _________________________ "I climb much harder in my posts than I do in real life."

mr.radon enthusiast Registered: 02/12/02 Posts: 293 TRs: 7 Photos: 0 Loc: Seattle	Contact the SeattlePi and SeattleTimes. I'm sure they will sponsor your kid and do a nice story on him. With all the publicity I'm sure someone will step forward if they did it at a younger age. But what's the point? Reminds me of Jessica Dubroff. _________________________ NSBDS

Or do I have to lead everything for that to count? _________________________ "I climb much harder in my posts than I do in real life."

I wish I could be so lucky. I do have to comment though that its pretty badass if Rudy's 8 year old climbs the Grand Wall, even as a second. _________________________ Watch your top knot.

First of all Rumr....I thinks is great your son climbs....but you might want to think about your wording. You said ascent not free ascent. There is a difference.
