Re: Family FriendlyThanks Sam. I am convinced that if we don't pass our love of mountains and the awesome experience of being on top of the world onto the next generation we have really missed out on a great thing. My daughters like to hike and are just getting into climbing. Even my wife is getting into it. The biggest challenge is identifying peaks that are more "friendly" to the beginner and introduce them in a fun less challenging environment. Thanks for the nice comment.
