Ya gotta love getting the family involved! That's way proud :thumbsup:

Devil's in the details, tho. Jim Herson has taken child rearing on the big walls to extremes. Both of his kids were well versed by their early teens. Connor Herson, at age 14, free climbed (red-point on lead) every pitch on the Nose. (Done by a mere handful of humans before.) Recall when Chris Sharma shook up climbing when, at age 14, he freed a 5.14? Not good enough for Connor – he wanted 14 of them. And he got em. BAD. ASS. Kids today!!!!!!!

(CNN) — Conquering Western Europe's highest peak is an ambition shared by many climbers, but one Mont Blanc summit attempt cut some serious corners en route to the top.
Rather than scaling the 4,810 meters (15,781 feet) under their own steam, a pair of would-be climbers landed a small plane on the face of the mountain on Tuesday.
