A friend of mine took his wife and kids up Mangerton last week. Kids are 12 and 10 and had no problems. Pics looked fantastic. I'm not sure if Torc would be high enough for snow and there's not a lot of space to mess around at the top but loads of space on Mangerton.

The hike up Mangerton isn't even that much. Could do it in an hour at your leisure.

Mangerton is the best one to do. I always go to the top but the punchbowl is the nicest part, it's usually not exposed to wind. Easy enough path up
