> My top tip is adjust your expectations and habits - outside do more bouldering and sport - trad is more awkward and faffy. At the wall, bouldering is easier as one can hold the baby whilst the other tries a problem.
That's what we've been doing so far and it's been working out well but it would be nice to do routes too!
> In terms of holidays - drive if you can, its just easier and ensuresd you can take everything you need - learn to love Font as its only 4hrs into France, although we went with friends to the south of france climbing and their 2 year old had a great trip down.
Somebody else suggested Font to us, sounds like it's worth trying!
> Unfortunatly we live in Birmingham but maybe ask down the wall to see if anybody is willing to join you - I bet there are plenty of people in a similar situation.
> Good luck and dont give up
Good to hear from people who keeping on climbing
