Overview:
Lots of high quality, sandstone sport climbs from F3+ to F7a+/b, with most of the routes between F5+ and F6b+; quite a rarity for Scotland! Most of the routes are well bolted with double bolt belays, making it a fantastic crag for people looking to progress from indoor to outdoor climbing. It is a good idea to wear a helmet as the sandstone is a little fragile near the top of some of the routes.
The crag has a pleasant sunny aspect, so would be a nice sun-trap all year round. During the summer months, nettles can be prevalent at the bottom of some of the routes, so it’s a good idea to wear trousers.
There are toilet facilities at the car park, but bring some toilet roll as there never seems to any there whenever needed!
