Good climbing suggestions for kids aged 4-10 19-Oct-2023 At 7:57:05 AM Jahmz

Thanks M9, they are some good suggestions in there, we've looked at most of them before. We have no problems with trad, and creativity. As you know, most of our "Local" crags require plenty of both.

I believe you are referring to Mt Mitta Mitta northwest of Corryong. We have been there a couple of times, but since the fires in 2020, the area had become overgrown and impassable, particularly with kids. The towers (north end of The Rock) is closed to climbing July to December for peregrine nesting season, I haven't climbed the other areas, would they be worth a visit with kids? Mt Pilot is on our list to visit again, I cant recall and easy (<10) slabbing, so we may have to hunt around a bit, unless you have any suggestions.

We are seasoned Mt buffalo climbers (we spent several years climbing with a bower bird). But the guide doesn't cover kid friendly climbs. We've spent a day on the slabs under the monolith, a day at Catani crags. and mucked about on the campsite boulders. do you have any specific suggestions at buffalo?
