Climbing styles
Grade spread
Routes can count in more than one style, so style counts add up to more than the total climbs. A few climbs are ungraded, so the grade bands may add up to slightly less.
Family-friendly — est. 4/5
4 / 5 Great with kids. Strong family potential on the numbers — lots of easy climbing, so the deciding factor is the individual crag's approach and base.
- 70 routes ≤5.9 (64% of graded routes) for kids & beginners
- 7 top-rope climbs — easier to manage with a small child underfoot
Estimate from OpenBeta grade & style counts only — approach, base, and shade are not in OpenBeta. Not a safety rating: check the specific wall's approach, base, and current access before bringing a small child.
Before you go — permits & chalk
No climbing permit — 10 Mile Canyon is White River National Forest (Dillon Ranger District). Check the district page for current access and closures.
