JJ is just starting out. I have to get better fast or he'll soon outclimb me!

Baby mono

Generally speaking, you want to use your middle finger for mono moves. That way you can flip people off while pantomiming the beta.

Lily Lake - RMNP
Norman , when he was 10, on Gilded Lily at Jurassic Park - Lily Lake in RMNP. We are from out of state and found this place using Sibylle Hechtel's guide book, Fun Climbs Colorado: Best Family Climbing Vacations.

Yeah Daryl!!! She is going to be your rope gun before too long!

9 months and bouldering

That's awesome Chris!

OK, who can beat the less than 9 months age barrier? Any younger ones out there?

My wife climbed in Yosemite when she was preganant.

I love my kid, obviously. She's so much fun and very funny as well. Every time we see a boulder or crag of any size she excitedly exclaims, "rock climbing!" Any time she sees a picture of a climber she thinks it's my wife or I, even when it's Chris Sharma on some 5.15, she says, "Daddy rock climbing, Daddy!" Aaahhh, thanks for thinking I could be so cool!

One of my favorite pictures and the best reason to enjoy climbing and being outside with my kid, because everything is so cool, like this puddle at the top of the boulder:

Awesome pictures Michael! She is beautiful

Great thread. No kids myself, but I enjoyed the pics. Any updates on how your kids are doing these days?

This is one of our recent outings of my 6yo playing. He has been doing this since 4. All my kids enjoy being out on God's best.
