Took my munchkin out climbing one day before the leaves turned color. She's ten, and has a blast doing it.
Nice pics. Im sure you made quite a stir in the park there. Good to see you doing stuff with your kid. Ive got 5 and it seems like theres not enough time in the day to spend with them.
so true....never enough time.
She's been climbing with me since she was 7, only recreational climbs, no work lol. We usually get several spectators, some approve, some don't. She knows the knots, and can tie them, and I usually have her climbing line belayed to my harness in case something happens.
She loves it, and definitely brags to her friends and shows off the pics.
We have a favorite tree we like to climb, the one in the pictures...its a giant oak, each time we climb in that tree, she goes a little bit higher, and swings out a little bit more.
How cute! and your daughter is beautiful. :smile2:
thanks ya thanks ya! she's a really sweet, patient, helpful, and adorable little girl....no bias or anything hahahaha
funny pic and comment you posted.
Her mother made me wait till she was seven, and she really didn't know the first few times we went out -- she's "comfortable" with it now, but still wags the disapproving finger once in a while hahaha.
Nice Job. I've been working with my 10 year old, but she's having trouble getting the hang of the body thrust with a blakes and drt. What climbing system did your daughter use, and did you help? The last time out, I tried to get her to use a foot prussik loop, but that didn't work well either. What systems work best with kids?

Dude get a helmet on your head to set the right example for your daughter, Get one on her head because she is irreplaceable and you would never forgive yourself if she got hurt! That being said- I'm sure you created a great memory for your daughter that will last forever. And get out there with her more before friends and social activities become more important to her than awesome time with Dad!
