We took Sandy up the Gutter (Diff) when he was two. Kaye is a bit younger at not quite two and we decided that Scimitar Ridge, the roadside Grade 2 scramble in Glen Nevis would make a sunny morning out and not too strenuous, especially since everyone except me is recovering from one illness or another. A nice wee family jaunt, and I managed to squeeze in time for a wee solo too and a bike ride home from the Glen!

Can I ask what Harness you are using with your little one? My little girl is 2 this month and I want to start taking her out climbing. She already loves jumping onto my bouldering mat from the rocks!
Also it looks like your little girl is wearing a bike helmet? I guess its just as good at that age and saves having a different helmet when they are growing so fast.

Its a Petzl Ouistiti http://www.petzl.com/en/outdoor/full-body-harnesses/ouistiti but the DMM TOmkitten looks good too http://dmmclimbing.com/products/tom-kitten/.
Yes it is a bike helmet. The route we were on has little chance of impact from above and although the bike helmet isn't deigned for climbing I'd rather have a helmet giving protection from unexpected swings or stumbles that fits. Al
