Video: Rock Climbing Toddler in Diapers Makes Parents Proud

Toddlers having, well, proportionally large noggins for their little 24-inch-long bodies you'd think they'd be poor climbers.

All eight pounds (according to the suspiciously large-nogginned and smiley Ray in Jerry Maguire) of flesh, skull, and bright brains pulling back on their pipe-sized necks and peeling their hands right off the holds? I'd believe it.  Clothing companies are still - in 2010 - trying in vain to invent an elastic for shirt necks that can take the torturous stretch required to get over a toddler's head and still look good once it's in place around the neck.

But this little one, Arianna, is an absolute rock star.  Check out her climbing technique, it's impeccable.  Not even potty trained, she has the concepts of foot placement, three points of contact at all times, shifting her weight on her feet for reach, and toward the end of the video you might think she's about to launch a dyno.

All for the love of her stuffed animals.

It must be the soggy diaper that balances her out.  Must be.

Come to think of it, get her an ATC for her birthday and you've got yourself a future belay slave.
