Elliot, who is 4 years old got to the top of the climbing wall yesterday, and back down again without any problem.
His mum and I met though the University Climbing Club.
So is his ability nature or nurture? Or a bit of both?
I also recently found the following video. A world champion female climber, married another climber and surprise, surprise one of their children is a climbing prodigy.
Where do you place the locus of control for the way life turns out for you? Is it a result of genetics and the hand you were dealt, the way you were treated or the way you melded all those things together with your character?

wow. that wall that Elliot is climbing is pretty bloody high! Cool. Surely it is a bit of both. But aren’t more kids naturally more adept at climbing than adults. I mean, do they have lighter bones or something? They certainly have a smaller frame to carry up the wall. I suppose they need the encouragement to pursue a particular sport or hobby (and that is where the nurture argument comes in, I guess).

Children probably have a better strength to weight ratio. Innate physical ability and build probably innate. There is a theory that ALL personality is nurture…
