Has anyone got a topo for The Amphitheatre area ?

Cheers !

In reply to Nath93:

There's one in the SMC Lowland Outcrops guidebook: I doubt if you will find one anywhere else!

In reply to Mark Bull: Yeah, its a drawn one though and not particularly good. Even just a picture of that area to use with the Lowland Outcrops book.

Hi Nath,

I used the Edge as a point of reference then just worked left or right based on the listings in the UKC logbook

I found everything quite easily this way

In reply to Nath93:


Have you actually tried using it or do you just object to line-drawings in principle? Like others I had no problems at all finding the routes.

In reply to ashtond6: Thanks for the info mate !

In reply to Jamie B: Never been to the crag so can't comment, just on looking at the guidebook. And yes, i'm not a big fan of line drawn topos. In my mind, it would be much easier for a photograph to be taken and edited to show where the routes are. I was planning a visit to Loudon Hill on a trip home this weekend but the weather looks like its going to crap out so it'll be a no go most likely.

Thanks for the replies.

In reply to Nath93:

Colour photo-topos are defo the way forward, but with ten-year old guides and minor crags you gotta work with what you've got. Unless Mr Latter fancies doing Scottish Rock volume 3?

In reply to Nath93:

How on earth do you cope at crags with no topo?

In reply to Nath93:

A combination of the existing topo and reading the descriptions should see you right.

In reply to Calder: I go in with an open mind and climb what looks good. But if a crag has a topo and is well developed then why would i not use it ?
