Latest pic of the boy
Here's the latest picture of the boy, for those who don't have access to his online album.
Another climber!Couldn't resist it. That of course is Sir Chris Bonnington (picture lifted from the BBC with no apparent copyright, hence I left Sir Chris' site alone 'cos that did have explicit instructions not to use them).
As you can guess, with the use of Sir Chris in this post, our own little lad is become something of a climber. Not like the ivy or fuscias or whatever is this year's choice of plant that grows up the side of Grandma & Grandads house,
but stairs it is.
And he masters them well.
From his first try and managing three steps, to his second last night and getting stuck on the corner step (we have a staircase that rises around 4 steps, then turns on itself through a few steps to straighten up again for the final climb). It was this first angled step that baffled him, being deeper at one side and narrow at the other.
Today, however, this was not a problem. He'd obviously slept on the issue and worked it out overnight. Up the first stage, around the turn, and part way up the final ascent before turning round and realising his sherpa (MOTS) was behind him. At this point he gave up, preferring to return to base camp.
The summit is only 2 steps away, son.
