My wife and I are going to take a couple out climbing, and we're thinking about going to Torrent. I know they allow only three climbers, but both us and the other couple have a baby. So we were going to bring along someone to help watch the babes. I have seen children there before with climbers, and they didn't have someone extra to watch them. I just didn't want to go and then be asked to leave because of the extra people. (The mother of the other couple doesn't want to climb, just the Dad). (Also we would probably be climbing most of the time where the boyscouts climb too, since he has never climbed before).
What would Dr. Bob say?

Hopefully he would say "Why the fuck are you treating your "friends" that way? The Boyscout climbs? Jesus, why don't you just take them off trail somewhere and make them scramble back to the top?"
How about this... rent a cabin.
Honestly though, I think you're fine. And have them climb the 5.8 in the front for crying out loud.

When you say "boyscout" climbs do you mean the Cordelia slab or the very far left climbs Hired Guns through The Last Boyscout? If you mean the latter, those are on the Via Ferratta property and are closed except for guiding by Torrent Falls Climbing Adventure.

This thread supports the Six Degrees of Separation from politics theory on this board!

Rent a cabin would solve everything and be really fun and convenient!
Get one of those bouncy swings and put the baby in it to bob around while you are climbing? Pack and Play also works well.
We tie our baby to a tree, but she's and Australian Cattle Dog.
