Hi all,

Just wandering if any has experience at fair head and could recommend the ideal abseil rope length. Going there for a week and we don't want all the scrambling down faff.

Cheers

I'm pretty sure if you intend to do the bigger routes in the middle of the cliffs 100 metres is required, though not having one we didn't have the luxury of such easy access and anyway were pretty content with the lesser fare at the extremities of the cliffs.

I've got away with 85m pretty comfortably - gets you down from the Halloween block anyway. The only bit I can think of where you might want more is An Bealach Runda area - I've scrambled along the base to that and can back up the general consensus that it's not to be recommended.
