Prince Charles climbing a wall in Jersey, UK
We're sharing this for for its curiosity value. But also as a sign (of hope) of how climbing has no limits: Prince Charles traversing, surprisingly quickly, across a wall at a school on the island of Jersey. The aplomb is regal of course, just like his clothes. His footwear is worth noting as it's, well how can we put it... not really ideal? Not to mention his suit and tie. But then again, this is a prince we're talking about! In any case it seems to us that the 63 year-old cuts a fine figure indeed. All that's missing is the ritual climbing encouragement "Go on Charles, stick it!" ;-)"
