Rings - a good start for kids' climbing

Even if your summer house is just 10 meters from a beginner crag with 70 routes, kids very seldom climb. They prefer just to paint on the rock or they want you to pull them up. This autumn we bought some rings and placed them below our staircase and since then our children, 5 and 6years old, have been playing and doing tricks at least one hour every day. Being stronger they have just found out that doing some laps on the auto-belay next to their parents is a lot of fun before they go bouldering.
