Hey there
I could use some help selecting a place to do some top roping with my family in the Denver area next week. (July 3rd - 10th). We will be on vacation from MI.
I am going to be climbing with a 10 year old and a 14 year old who never climb.
I would like a top roping climb that is 50 - 70 feet that I can walk up to and tie off at the top and then walk back down. There don't have to be bolts. I can tie off on trees or something if necessary. Does a climb like this exist in Denver?
Thanks so much for your help.

If you're going to be here in July, then you have the added requirement of the crag being north facing, otherwise you're going to be roasted alive. Otherwise I'd suggest North Table.
Only place I can think of that fits the bill is Lookout Mountain. Small crag, but lots of easy stuff, probably perfect for kids.
