5yr tries wall/rock climbing

Points for effort, kid. She tried her best, but she has discovered her fear of heights today. I was a bit puzzled by this, as she will gleefully climb a magnolia tree some 50-feet into the air, with no harness or safety line, but give her the bells and whistles that say “you can totally fall and be perfectly fine” (in fact, the business said that falling was the way to get back down) and she’d freeze.

Better luck next time, kid.

Sidenote: Yes, I got this photo by getting on a harness for myself and climbing up. Yes, I was still in my postal uniform. No, there are no photos of this happening.
