I was at the gym today, along with every extended family member of every other climber in the East Bay (because it was raining and nobody could go on their post-Thanksgiving hike? I dunno). And there was a woman struggling up a 5.10C next to me, with her 15-yo son belaying and encouraging her.
She finally made it, and when she got down it became clear that it was her very first day climbing! And he'd sent her up a 5.10c! I was amazed, but she did it, and wasn't apparently too horrified. It was pretty funny.
