Questions parents ask

What age can kids start climbing? +
Bouldering from ~5–6 with supervision; rope-climb programs typically start at 8. Greystone's free wall is a great test.
Do we need our own gear? +
No — TRC rents shoes, harnesses and chalk. Closed-toe athletic shoes suffice for a first bouldering visit.
Do parents need to belay? +
Auto-belays mean no certification needed at TRC; staff orientation covers everything on a first visit.
