A British mom strapped her 2-year-old daughter to her back -- and climbed a 30-foot rock face .
She says the climb was 100-percent safe from falling rocks.
After posting the picture online, she was bombarded by comments, many criticizing the fact that her daughter didn't have a helmet on.
She says she is an experienced rock climber and they were both attached to a rope.
The mom says she's a promoter of outdoor sports for kids and is very safety-conscious.
We want to know your thoughts.
Do you think this mom should have taken such a risk with her 2-year-old?
Or, did she take all the necessary precautions?
