Family Friendly is a climbing area in Utah on Bureau of Land Management land within the Moab Field Office, about 7 miles from the town of Moab. It is a small cluster of routes that sits right next to other named walls, with Sunshine Wall Routes just 0.1 mile away and Sunbeam Wall 0.3 mile off. That makes it easy to pair with those areas on a single outing. The climbing here is a mix of sport and trad, with grades ranging from 5.6 to 5.9. Seven routes are listed, including Dislaberal, a trad route at 5.6, and The Three Best Friends, a sport route at 5.9. Mixed climbing is also present, with Second Route at 5.8. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit, when typical highs at a nearby weather station run in the upper 60s to low 70s and mid 80s, while July averages a typical high of 96 degrees. Nearby, North Klondike Campground lies about 3 miles away, and Courthouse Rock Campground is roughly 10 miles off. Mountain bikers can ride Homer Trail, about 2.4 miles away, and hikers can take the Nome Trail at a similar distance.
