Family climbing, everyone welcome but you have to have enough patience to be around some kiddos. Mine are 4&6yo. At least one adult in your party should be able to belay (adults climb too!). You can rent harnesses at the gym, hiking shoes, sneakers or water shoes are all fine for kids or you can rent climbing shoes. Chinook has a number of auto belays and several very easy routes set for little bodies. You pay your own gym entrance fee. If you've not been to a CCC gym before, come early to sign waivers.

Required Items to Bring:

Snacks! Water bottles, belay device & harness for your adult (s).
