Dear community,
having recently moved to Bristol (with convenient outdoors climbing being a great incentive) I'm now keen on regularly getting on some real rock.
Have had the chance to explore some of the usual suspects such as Wyndcliff Quarry, Symonds Yat, Brean Down and there's many more on the wish list.
In this post, however, I'm after suggestions for family friendly crags. As this forum has been super helpful in the past, I have high hopes of finding a crag that is:
-roughly within an hour's drive from Bristol
-offers trad up to S and sport up to 6a (with a variety of routes in the easy range preferred)
-single pitch options preferred
-approach of less than an hour's walk from a car park
-comfortable chillout area in close vicinity of the routes, no danger of getting your head split open by rockfall. Somewhere where non-climbers would happily lounge, Picknick etc
Extra points for:
-away from traffic/road noise
I'm thinking of places that offer spillout space such as Tryan Bach, Tremadog upper tier, etc., Just closer to Bristol.
Keen to read some suggestions and many thanks in advance.
