What happens when you stop climbing...

Think of it as an 18 year Big Wall with lots of A5 pitches in store.

Congrats!

BTW, no need to get fat. There will be many opportunities for you and your kid to go do stuff, together, in the great outdoors. Even go climbing....

Congratulations Marc!

Congratulations and best wishes, Marc. By the way, don't think all the problems are over once they become 18! You will be a father for the rest of your life, sometimes it is great fun, at other times it may be trying, but upon the whole I recommend it.

Based on his/her dad harping about conservative values at him/her, that will be a given!!! Another vote for Obama it is.

You are doomed! Doomed, my Friend. Doomed!

And 16 years down the line... your kid is sick and tired of "old dad" who can't climb like the young ones.

Congrats to you and your wife! I can tell its very hard for you to contain your excitement, glad you were able to find a way to let the cat out of the bag without getting in trouble

Good luck convincing my sister of that!

Congratulations, marcminish!

The older they get, the more fun it is. Teenagers are great!
And you'll still remember how it was when they were small and tiny all along.
