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. 3/5
3 / 5 Decent with kids. Workable with kids if you pick the wall carefully — a moderate easy-route base, not an automatic toddler pick.
- 21 routes ≤5.9 (25% of graded routes) for kids & beginners
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
