Climber parents out there 11-Nov-2022 At 7:55:03 AM Karl Bromelow

The You Yangs, Black Hill and Dog Rocks (Mount Alexander) spring to mind. Each has areas with reasonably clear bases that within reason could be considered child safe. Obviously there is almost nowhere that climbing is possible where at least some attention must be paid to what non climbing youngsters are getting up to while you are climbing but that's pretty obvious and my partner and I managed to climb safely at various and varied locations while our son (who now, at 15, climbs way harder than we do) was still a baby. Even bigger multi pitch crags with some creativity. I'd say the best solution is to get the kids tied in and climbing as early as possible, if they are keen. We did and never looked back.
