Anyone near bend, especially with kids that climb?

Hello, hope everyone reading this is well! I’m a moderately experienced, moderately skilled climber that lives in bend. I’ve been taking my daughter (9 y/o) to the gym for years now and recently with our move to bend have gotten her out top roping a few times outside but would really love to find some friends with kids that also climb so I can start teaching her to belay and also just climbing is more fun with friends. I’m also looking for partners for myself if anyone else in the area is. I am recently returned to climbing after a long hiatus and climb around mid 11’s without too much trouble on bolted routes but have been enjoying longer moderate gear routes lately. Cheers!

Hey Jake! I’m in the exact same boat-sending you a DM with details. 

Messaged you both! Two girls here in Rdm (9 and 6). 

Hi there! I’m in the same boat with 2 boys ages 6 and 8. My husband and I used to climb a lot but now it’s harder to get out with kids. I think having some crag buddies would definitely help! Would love to get out climbing with other families.

Have a 4 yr old girl and always looking for friends to motivate her on the wall. Unfortunately we are a tad young for you. Can vouch for Sonja who posted above me. Met with them once and had a good experience!

Hey Sydney! Just sent you a DM. We have family friends with a 4 yo girl and it’s the mom specifically looking to climb. Maybe I can connect you two?
