I'd like to take my daughter climbing outdoors. Ideally I'd like a nice slab that I could set up a toprope on. The Wye valley limestone doesn't seem very conducive to this approach so I wonder if any Forest of Dean esoterica might fit the bill? Reasonably solid rock would be nice as I'd raather she wasn't dodging rocks on a first outing.

Excellent - looks perfect and I can show her a picture of wee Seth for inspiration.

So named because the first ascent was done by a six year old whose surname was Treasure.
Definitely Plump Hill. It was cleaned up a couple of years ago, opening up some of the rarer climbs on the right hand side, but Little Treasure is my sons' favourite climb.

Good anchors at the top for top roping, and easy to make a rule about going near the edge - don't pass the tree!
