It's where I first ever climbed . . . . Nearly 30 years ago.

So . . . . . Yes!

There are a couple of routes that are really fun, I've always enjoyed going there... but c'mon.... it's total crap

I hate the place. Climbed my 1st E1 there, then it was downgraded to HVS! Bast@rd Neilston I'll never forgive you :'(

Learned to lead there. We used to call it the Pad and it saddens me I haven't been for 25 years. Loved it but as I have Cratcliffe 10 minutes up the road it's maybe dropped to second on the destination list...

I would agree with this assessment for Rosyth, but Neilston is much worse!

I suppose I am a bit spoiled having Meikle Partans and Fulmar Wall as my local crags.
