8b+ again for Cameron Hörst (12)

Cameron Hörst has over five tries done his fourth 8b+, Doomsday in Ten Sleep. "Lots of deadpoint moves for me, but such a great line! I stayed true to the gray streak the whole way." His younger brother, Jonathan (10) has also done an 8b+. Their father Eric, is the author of training for climbing books with worldwide sales over 300,000. Here is his 8a article on kids progress The Hörst family is on a family climbing trip for the month of July and next stop is Wild Iris. As a comment to Tito Traversa tragic accident, Eric comments. "The main thing for us is to stay focused and undistracted. Cliff base is often noisy and busy with people talking and such...it's easy to be distracted and mess something up. So I remind the boys to "pay attention to all the critical things"...be aware and engaged in active risk assessment and management. But for kids it does take a responsible parent to be involved in the process. (c)Eric Hörst
