Immediately south of Brown Crag, this is shorter, steeper, quicker to dry and sunnier. Grooves and roofs from Diff to E5. Something for everyone.

Approach as for the top of Brown Crag then continue south to the cliff top. A prominent small block is above the crag. Ab in.
If parking at the Bettridge Centre in Newtonhil, walk south behind the centre and go past the playing fields. After the playing fields, you'll encounter a farmer's field closed by a fence. Go over the fence and walk on the edge of the field (respect the crops) near the coast, until you've walked for about 400m and you find a large post and a few large boulders (57.023148, -2.149499), which mark where you cross the fence and head south-west down the slope to the top of Brown Crag. Cross the small burn (water stream) southwards to position yourself on top of Brown Band Crag, which is well recognised by the prominent square block used as an abseil point (20m).
