Kids, the only thing you can say about mixing kids and climbing.. well is that you've probably got a lot better perspective on life than the likes of me.

- probably not actually - but a better handle on time management for sure.

I've got a 3yr old, wear the apron (do the cooking/washing up), and train 10hrs a week. Climbing better than when I was single, living in a shared house and working part time. At the end of the day - if you want something bad enough (eg. climbing) - then you'll sort your life accordingly to accomodate it. That said, it helps having an understanding partner of course!
