Hi,

Anyone been here and can comment on the bolts ?

In reply to Scott_vzr:

Never climbed on the upper crag, but there is a lower crag down by the pool if you continue downhill. Maybe about 20m high, with a number of slabby grooves. I climbed a number of lines about 20 years ago and was less than impressed so didn't bother recording them. I even placed a couple of peg belays over the top. The rock is very compact but friable. Most cracks tend to be 'blind' with little or no scope for placing natural protection. I took a leader fall on an unprotected v'diff when a small handhold sheared, but fortunately I'd just passed a large heather covered ledge, and that stopped me taking a potentially painful tumble. There are better places to climb in the central belt.

Thanks but what about the bolts ?

In reply to Scott_vzr:

I've been to Binnie Crag lots of times, I haven't noticed any bolts. What are you asking about? Quality of bolts, point of bolts, is there good bolted climbing, has anyone climbed the bolted routes, should we start a thin end of the wedge argument, do these so-called bolts even exist?
