What is a good age to take your kids to the climbing wall?

Younger the better IMO. Climbing (particularly bouldering) is a great sport for kids, it builds strength and body awareness and helps with their confidence. They also love jumping off onto the mats.

I started my son at 4, he didnt take to roped stuff but he loves bouldering. As said above though, walls could do with putting up some harder problems that dont involve adult size reaches to allow kids improve.

Just take em outside to start some of the Glens have nice easy angled slabs

Oh right, I’ll just pop the 3 year old in the car for an 8 hour drive each way and some outoor climbing in winter. That’s much easier than spending an hour in Bristol.
