Family Friendly Climbing?
|
Are there any family friendly climbing spots within an hour-ish drive of North Denver? I'm looking for a moderate approach but more importantly a belay area where kids wouldn't be at risk of falling in the river, a busy road, or falling off a cliff. Sport climbs between 8 and low 10. From browsing other posts on this topic so far I've come up with only one spot. East Colfax in CCC. Can anyone attest to this being a family friendly spot? |

Look into Canal Zone in CCC. It's pretty much exactly what you just described. |

I was going to suggest the Canal zone as well but since I was beaten to it, I'll offer another couple: |

Thanks! |

You can also take your family to Boulder Canyon or Eldo. I have taken my 10 and 12 year old girls to Wind Tower in Eldo and in BC to Happy Hour Crag, Castle Rock, The Dome, Nip & Tuck, and Boulderado. How old are your kids? |

North Table Mountain is a good place for kids, but can be really crowded at peak times. |

I recently compiled a similar list. |

Thanks everyone! |

Agreed re: East Colfax. Right nearby is also the "Play Pen." Probably the most family friendly in terms of places for the kids to play and be safe in the area. www.mountainproject.com/v/play-pen/108435850 |
