"It helps having an understanding partner of course"

So true.

Whilst I only have a three WEEK old (and time will tell a different tale perhaps) my partner has been amazing regarding my climbing, she understands the importance of climbing to me. During the pregnancy and since the birth my climbing has hardly been affected, I even managed a quick trip to NZ six weeks before the due date. The only problem is that my gf is itching to climb herself and our first trip to the crag this morning with the little fella was, unfortunately, a screaming disaster. People have told me however, that in Europe whole families out climbing is not at all uncommon.

As I see it kids will only affect your climbing as much as you let them affect it.
