The Main Cliff Guide

A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

Summary:

Seasonality

All Trad climbing

Lat / Long: 57.570414, -5.677907

description

Mainly 2 pitch climbs of superb quality.

approach

After crossing the bridge and the gate, follow the path all the way up until you reach a deer fence and gate. Cross this and continue uphill until a high point is reached and the path takes you down to the other side of the hill. The climbs will be on your left up the slope.

descent notes

Descend from the bolted anchor at the top. If your ropes aren't long enough, there is an intermediate anchor on the terrace in the middle of the wall (it is worth spotting this before climbing to get your bearings).
