I ache. Belaying a 6st teen when you weigh 13st is a helluva lot easier than doing the same when they weigh 7 and you weigh 11. Had to put some effort in today, not helped by the fact they've suddenly found strength, speed and agility and are going up routes like a rat up a drainpipe!
I am exceedingly proud of them, though.
Bits of me are how trying to kill me so I am, again, waiting for painkillers to do their thing...

My five year old is loves indoor climbing and I love that he loves it. But my neck doesn't like doing all the belaying. Especially when he goes up the big walls.
