UKC

**** A slightly overhanging, pumpy wall with juggy holds leads to the niche. Move right then up to the ledge. Sling the block and belay.
The next pitch takes a left rising traverse to the tree, which seems tame after the scary wall below. Abseil off the tree or, if you like greenery, continue on up. A Creag Dubh classic.
