In reply to Carolyn:
> Eden Valley MC's membership form suggests they take under 18s with a parent. I'm not sure if they actually have any younger members, though (but I've only seen them at evening wall meets, which might be different people to outdoor daytime stuff).
Anyone from the Eden Valley or Carlisle club post on here and want to comment?
> Eden Rock (the bouldering wall in Carlisle) is really good for kids, and likely to be a good place to find other families who climb.
Eden Rock looks good, we're currently regulars at the Climbing Depot in Leeds which has a similar setup and that works well with kids.
> Outdoors, some of the Eden sandstone is probably fairly kiddy friendly, but Head End Quarry (also known as Sandale Quarry - between Carlisle and C'mth) is a well used venue.
How's the South Crag of Castle Rock of Triermain?
I've been perusing Lakes guide books to find ones with relatively short walk ins and easy single pitch routes.
All the multi-pitch stuff looks great too but not so great as family venues!
> As you know, we're a bit further away, but happy to play some time!
We might take you up on that, although not until we are settled in.
We're mental busy at the moment, should calm down a bit once we've actually moved I hope!
