Looking for family-friendly Duluth rock climbing that’s great for children 4-12 years of age? With this beginner-friendly tour, we’ll introduce your family to rock climbing. We’ll give you an introduction to safety equipment, including harnesses and helmets, and you’ll see how climbing anchors are built. You’ll also learn to belay.

We’ll set up climbs that give your group the appropriate level of challenge as you take advantage of unforgettable photo opportunities and make memories you’ll talk about for years to come!
