HARROGATE, England, May 10 A 2-year-old boy who fell halfway down a 60-foot cliff while on vacation at the British seaside may just want to call his dad Spider-Man from now on. Ian Gillespie scrambled down the cliff's face, holding an electricity cable exposed by erosion, to reach his son, Daniel.I know I should not have done it, Gillespie, 38, told The Telegraph. But when you see your 2-year-old son wandering about half way down a cliff it is difficult. I just felt I had to get down there quickly.Officials said Daniel, who suffered only cuts and bruises, was lucky he fell where he did because the cliff has a sheer drop on either side.The dramatic rescue convinced the family to end their vacation in Norfolk and head home to Harrogate, The Telegraph reported.By UPI
