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. 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.
- 24 routes ≤5.9 (38% 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
No climbing permit is required in the Wet Mountains, in San Isabel National Forest (San Carlos Ranger District) — special-use permits are only for groups of 75 or more and commercial activities. Developed campgrounds are fee sites, some reservable, so check current access, closures and chalk rules before you go.
