Selah Schneiter: Ten-year-old girl scales El Capitan

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-...les-el-capitan




She used ropes and it took her five days (with her dad) but what an amazing achievement .....
It was an achievement but I wouldn't allow my 10 year old to put herself in such danger.

I've walked on that quite a few times now. Portsmouth and the Spinnaker Tower is somewhere we take our family or visitors for a day out.
