Routes in North Esk

On the approach to Hidden Crags proper is a short black buttress which may or may not be the one mentioned in Bob McMahon's guide. It has two hand/fist cracks in it. This is the right one.

Left face of the first section of main cliff. Starts up crack to a hanging block and finishes up thin crack and arete.

Shallow corner right of the first arete.

Climbs the obvious left trending diagonal crack. Finish as for Buenaventura Durruti

The face just right of Barcelona. Start up Barcelona and at first carrot bolt, traverse right and continue up face via 3 more bolts. A long reach at the 2nd bolt is probably the crux. Originally climbed on gear, Retro-bolted by Danny Ng

The next corner right.

The next corner right, Starts on a ledge and continue up a crack.

2m right of International Brigade. Straight up the face with minimal pro.

Beautiful slabby arete. Reaching the first carrot bolt is a little scary. Gear anchor. (retro-bolted by Danny Ng)
