Lids for kids

My ten-year-old son recently took up climbing and even made the British Regional Youth Climbing Series finals in his first year of competitions. We've also ventured into the wonderful and scary (for parents) world of outdoor climbing. But when we open Summit and look at the fabulous photos of the fit and famous climbing massive cliff faces, the lack of head protection is very noticeable. It makes encouraging a child to wear a helmet a bit tricky, so please can you try to include a greater proportion of exciting pictures with climbers with their helmets on? And hey, all you famous and daring guys - I'm sure your Mum would prefer you to have a lid on too!
