Hi all,

I'm (hopefully) going to be in Arisaig with family in August, and would like to find some family friendly climbing - ideal criteria are easy access (an easy walk in is ok but a nice safe area for kids to play by the crag), grades in the 5s and 6s for sport or equivalent trad/boulder, picturesque and good rock, within an hour or so of Arisaig.

Would love to hear recommendations from those who know the area - thanks v much in advance! 

Black Rock is a good place to start. Lots of sport 6a/6bs. Friendly base to the crag. Flat walk-in.

Ok, cheers Si. Is the rock any good? I had seen this one but thought the rock looked quite loose / poor quality. But maybe the photos are deceptive. 

The rock is good.

You could also try some stuff just east of there

Can also confirm rock is good at black rock. Was there a couple of years ok. Very pleasant climbing in a quiet location. Remember there being lots of ticks from the walk in/out!

Ok brilliant, thanks both! 

Prince's Stone is good too: https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crags/clach_a_phrionnsa_princes_stone-26...
