In reply to Tom Ripley Mountain Guide:
Hi Tom
You need to decide which way to walk in.
If you come in from the North (Tomintoul ) its further to cycle but a spartan hut where you can walk up the valley to the crag. Went past 2 years ago , take a few short felt nails and a metre square of strong polythene for the window and hope the door is still on.
Also a very good bothy two?miles further up the main valley.
Check snow levels if you use the normal summer approach from the South, a mountain bike will save a lot of time, especially on the way back. Not sure of bothy / howff on this side.
Could be a good time for the approach if the crag is still in nick, looking at the Lairig Ghru photos recently.
You could always walk in , climb the route half in dark and get back to the car 24 hours after leaving it like on FA of Cumming Crofton
