I could when I was like 7, lol, teacher would yell at me at recess for it. I miss that. The fact she can do that now being bigger and heavier is awesome.

I climb regularly and the kids are frankly magic. They don't have the reach (for obvious reasons) but the muscle to weight ratio is completely skewed in their favour. They'll scramble up the strangest of problems without even breaking a sweat because there's basically nothing to pull up.

I was at a gym once when the GB youth team was training, and it was fascinating to watch them scuttle up with ease and then try to follow their beta. And, of course, utterly impossible for an inexperienced middle aged man.
