We did this hike with our kids on a Friday night (4, 6, and 9). There was not much shade. The last bit is pretty steep, but they all made it. I'd say it is one of the more kids friendly hikes with a summit.
Some shade entering the trail, not so much after that, it's steep climb towards the top of the hill. 1-10 kid friendly I would give it a 5. Go super early 6am
