Restricted Access

Turn of the A82 at Dumbarton opposite the Abbotsford hotel and drive up to the highest point of a small housing estate. Cross a stile and walk across fields and up through woods to gain the crag which can be seen peeking above the trees.

#2024: Active Ravens nest at the foot of Voodoo Magic, occupied 10/04/24 with small chicks. Out of consideration it's advised not to climb at Dumbuck until mid-May......  

 

Loose (on a grand scale!) and mostly unprotected. From the lower off of Breathe the Pressure, 6b+, traverse right then follow a ramp to beneath an overhang. Pull over this and continue easily to the top of the rock.

βeta: Stupidly loose with the fall-line right over the crag approach! I pulled up off the belay and the first handhold of the pitch went flying into the void. Crux overlap was wet, very dirty and very unprotected. Downclimbed and abbed off instead.
