Took both my own kid L (7) and a friend's kid H (6-nearly-7) climbing and they both had a lovely time (L is getting pretty chill about climbing V0! Though some expect a longer arm/leg reach than he possesses), but H in particular was just SO INTO IT. She's only been climbing once before, and she only made it to the top of one problem (I was at pains to say that it's fine to come down if you feel you've gone high enough!), but she was throwing herself enthusiastically at one of the cave/very-overhang-y V0s multiple times and I had to more or less peel her off the wall when I felt we'd both probably had enough. So that was fun :)
Not wishing to be outclassed by the 6 yr old, I too got slightly further up the cave/very-overhang-y V0s than I had before. Core strength still isn't quite up to it yet :/ I may have more reach than the kids but my power to mass ratio is much worse!
