Update:

I have found some great mom partners. Not only do I get to climb, but I get all sorts of advise about mothering stuff. And they actually want to keep the day short.

I still climb with some of my best climbing partners, but finding new mom-partners will make it more realistic for me to climb.

It is really nice to find climbing partners who actually want to organize a family climbing day. Yay!

I joined a meetup for outdoorsy moms. But it seems that they are pretty busy and I have not found regular mom climbing partners still.

One of my regular partners is about to have a baby, and I can't wait.

I've got a list of emails of climbing parents from asking around rc.com and local climbing site. But once again, no regular partners.

It has not been easy. On one meetup, there was a scary lady which made me wonder if looking for random partners was such a good idea. Oh well. I hope you have better luck than me.

Some of my best partners are ones I met online. It is pretty safe when I talk to them first and get a good sense of their experience and meet in a group and observe before letting them belay me. The unfortunate situation about meetup is that there is no way to control who signs up or comes. And really no way to say, scary lady, you can't come.

OMG when I said crazy I meant poor judgement like carrying your toddler in a pack up multipitch and taking a ledge fall because she saw a spider. Your crazy is really crazy. Scary crazy. *shudder*

On another note, I went climbing outside for the first time since baby #2. I didn't lead (not much I feel comfortable leading where we were), but I am sore from climbing. Yay!

I pumped. Some guy kept insisting that there was some crazy frog around, and I didn't correct him. Just smiled and kept pumping. Ah, the joys of climbing motherhood.

So, I sold my pregnant climbing harness. I've been getting rid of baby things, but more than anything, it feels final now that I am getting rid of the harness. Nope, guess ain't gonna have another baby.

Went out about 3 times this season, but lately, I've not been climbing. Seems like that is the pattern for me. Not much climbing the first season after baby. I can't wait until baby is a year old next season. I think we will all have lots of fun together as a family. One of my climbing buddies is at Squamish this week with her 2 month old. Why I am not badass like these women, I don't know.

If it were not the baby that came out of my own body (e.i. if I were taking an adopted child to the crag),

...

I am sure you didn't intend to say something that would probably offend an adoptive parent, simply because it is not the perspective you have. But I can imagine someone who is a step-parent or adopting parent reading that phrase and being upset about it, as if it were supposing their parental bond was somehow less because they are not the birth parent.

I've never had children, and at fifty, even the idea of step-mom or adopting mom seems improbable, but I can honestly say that even imagining myself with an adopted child, I would have been offended to read that. The adopting parents that I know very much cherish their child or children.

I think however you mostly don't climb with your husband, whereas mine is my exclusive climbing partner.

Do you trust hubby to watch two at home if you go away for a day? Is he willing to be stuck at home all day with them?

And do you mind going away given you work?

Just wondering what people manage to do. I thinks it's only hypothetical, question, we pretty much accept we are not climbing now. Our level was pretty low even when we went regularly, so once you stop you quickly fall below where you feel you can lead outside without getting back into it in the gym.
Good luck

Congratulations and sounds like things are going well for you.
I didn't quite follow what you do with your daughter when you climb, sounds like you take her to the crag with you and your husband- but are you actually climbing as well? Do you have anyone else with you, or she just stays in a stroller if you are climbing or belaying.

We climb at fairly popular crags (Obed, Red) so there are folks around. In the past, my husband and I were each others primary climbing partner. This has definitely evolved. And what we do with Riley has evolved too, as she grows and changes. When she was super little, we could hike her in to the crag, and climb together because she slept alot. We would have her in her little nest (tent, blankets, carseat, whatever) and we could climb together while she napped. Now that she is semi-mobile, and naps much less, things have changed. If we have other friends around, then one of us is always with Riley, looking at rocks, trees, whatever, and the other one climbs with friends, then we swap. We are also lucky enough that several friends love to watch Riley and they will take her for a little bit while Craig and I climb together.

We did buy this cool thing called a Go-Pod. It's like a portable exersaucer. It folds up like a camp chair and you can attach toys to it. We figured she liked it enough that if its ever just the two of us, we could put her in it long enough to do a pitch together. Not ideal, but I think it'll work if no one else is around.

Of course, Riley changes each and every day, so every weekend is kind of new and has its own challenges and successes! I remember one cold day this spring at the Red trying to nurse her and it was just the three of us, then it started raining... we were like... what are we doing?!?!? And we left. But for the most part, we are making it happen and I think she will be a child that will love and respect the outdoors (which is a huge part of all this afterall!).
