More to come, but I just can't help myself before it's ready. My little high-ballers freaked me out:

That's awesome, dude.
Cheers! Keep taking 'em out, looks like they dig it. My dad did that a lot with me when I was young; camping, fishing, etc...
Kids just really seem to dig the larger playground that is the wild outdoors. How can they not like that, it's inherent in the human condition I think....until you have to get a job.....

Wicked awesome!
Taking my five year old boy and 20 year old daughter to TM in a couple of days... can't wait! The twenty year old started doing this stuff when she was less than three!

Wow! What a great trip to my favorite place anywhere. At long last, my two daughters (6 and 10) and I will be arriving on Sunday the 23rd for their first outing there - 5 nights. For me, it has been a 10-years-too-long hiatus.

Awesome nutjob! Being in the mtns with the kids is the best.
I'm in the bay area and always looking for climbing parents for tag-team cragging.

P.S. 5 years old is a perfect age for roped climbing. They are little monkeys at that age.

Great pictures; great kids. Sigh.
Is there a support group somewhere for parents of children who don't like to climb?
My son's 14 now: two or three inches taller than me, and probably 20 pounds lighter. Eight-pack abs. One-armed pullups. He could be a GOD of granite. The ultimate rope gun.
But it's just not cool. He's a skater. Tre flip over a six-stair is where he finds The Gnar.
Whaddaya gonna do.
