Thanks all! I said they were new to the sport but I should have said new to outdoor climbing. We all can easily climb up to 16-18 but Buffalo seems to be harder than the grades indicate (exposure and so on from what I know) so we're looking at lower grade climbs on which we can walk up the climb, set up a top anchor (off trees, boulders...), and then belay either from the top or from the bottom of the climb. Abseiling down, I agree, is risky as it means the only way out is up.

Looks like Catani Crags could do.
Also, seems like the easy, less than vertical slabs, haven't been listed in the topo guide so I may have to look for those and go for it.

Oh, and yes, climbing is dangerous but i) that's part of the excitement and ii) I'm level enough not to do anything I am not happy with.
