Jon + I used to climb several times a week before we had kiddos! Actually it wasn’t until after Jonah was born that I developed a LEGITIMATE fear of heights. I didn’t even know I had this until I got to the top the first time I climbed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we were planning our trip to Northern California, rock climbing was high on our priority list! CITY OF ROCKS. Rigg has shown interest in climbing, so we decided to carry on our climbing gear + make it happen! Grateful for kids that encourage me to do hard things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we left, we snagged all of our climbing gear at Backcountry. They were nice enough to share a 15% off code for your first Backcountry order<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACED MY FEAR OF HEIGHTS HEAD ON! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While planning the itinerary for the end of our South Lake Tahoe trip, we knew we wanted to take the boys climbing! We packed all of our gear in an oversized duffle bag<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>+ checked it at the airport. We found that the South Lake Tahoe Basin offers a variety of rock climbing experiences that range from mild to moderate to extreme! There were lots of great climbing spots just minutes from where we stayed in South Lake Tahoe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
HAMMOCK<\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We were glad we packed the hammocks<\/strong><\/a>, Jack + Jonah both napped in there for several hours! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

CASTLE ROCK <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We chose to make a day out of our adventures at Castle Rock. We found that it was good for beginners because the need for a lot of rope + gear was minimal! We hiked in (3 miles round trip) + it’s located in the area of Kingsbury Grade and Andria Drive. According to climbers who frequent the spot, the erosion at Castle Rock is so that there are a lot of handholds and footholds that make navigating up and down less strenuous than more advanced climbs. Worked great for our first climbing adventure as a family of 5! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
