This 2 year old has some good moves. I've taught hundreds of people to climb and observed that we are born climbers. Kids usually climb more naturally and with less fear than their parents.

hey there say, tom... whewww, good the parents HAD paid attention and then,
passed the word...

my boys, all climbed like monkeys, in the tree of our yard,
in south texas... WE HAD a great tree!!!

they were skilled and very agile, and (dumb me)
(since we all climbed trees, as kids!) never thought to watch them,
(though, perhaps i should have)...

by my gut-feeling, i just let them do it, and wow--they got high-up there...

i just simply watched from the window, and was not even
worried, :O now, i look back and wonder if i SHOULD
have stood right under them!!!

i know, for sure, that it was good, very good, for their
thought process, and body co-ordination, :)
and-- muscles... :)

^ ^ ^ ^That looks way beyond "off white" - that looks to be damn near Dark! I haven't looked
Yet. (ok,I look'd - made it 29 seconds the 1st try & 48,Thru the refrain, the last. sorry gave whatever that is, up along time ago)


as to having a ridiculous strength to weight ratio when we are younger?
Ah? that isn't really news to parents.

My kids were goats till their teens then both gave it up. They didn't get hooked, but both climbed trees and the walls in the house. In door-ways; stemming up to grab the trim, pulling off 3 pull ups then collapsing into a parents arms. We had hoped to have at least one rope gun, but that has not come to pass
Yet

No, we are born to kill.

No, we are born to die.

So, let me be the first to say....











Wait for it....





















Yer gonna die.

Okay Gnome, here's a lighter sample of the same band, you'd come to love these folks if you gave them a chance. Well, at least Norweigan might.
