I'm writing a Climbing Magazine "mini-feature" as editor Matt Samet puts it, about climbing parents and our perception of risk. The article is coming out in Oct 08 and I would appreciate the insights of any/all Gunks climbing moms and dads.
You can reach me at susan@susanebschwartz.com and also through my website http://www.theschwartzspot.com and I'll provide more info. Meanwhile, thanks for your time and help! -Susan
I can see the picture of some teen girl high balling a v9 while Mom stands below biting her fist and crying, while both are wearing a scimpy climbing top and hot pants. Shot, of course, in first light for maximum color. Sound about right?
I think it's a good idea for a story. I've heard many parents, with kids ranging in ages from newborn to teens, and the issues they deal with. Issues for both themselves and the children. I am looking forward to reading the article!

And???...... Sounds like a good followup to Sebs article, but for the testoserone driven crowd
