Victoria has been asking to go rock climbing, which has been a strange, because she is scared of heights. Nonetheless, she has wanted to go and Aunt Peggy took the initiative to help arrange for the kids to go climbing at Central Rock.
Lia was fearless and fast.
Austin too was quiet capable – so long as he doesn’t look down, he says. He was able to climb without much difficulty.
Victoria, on the other hand, is much like her father and not at all at ease as she climbs higher and higher. Where she differs from Keith, however, is in her resilience. She would climb a step higher, and freeze in place, muscles physically trembling in fear, then – somehow – push through and overcome to move up a bit higher before she would again freeze, tremble, contemplate, and pull herself up even farther. She was a champ!
