Coire nan Clach (Beinn a' Bhuird)

Climbs 31 – Rocktype Granite – Altitude 950m a.s.l – Faces E

Crag features
Coire nan Clach a beautiful secluded corrie, scattered with boulders high above the Quoich Glen. It is situated just below the North Top of Beinn a'Bhuird with a rock promontary dividing the corrie into two lobes. To the left of the corrie, seperating it from Coire an Dubh Lochan is the Dividing Buttress, a huge triangular mass of rock.

The left skyline of this buttress is Slab and Arete and the right skyline is Sentinel Route. The right-facing corner in the mass of slabs inbetween is the Jewell-Kammer route with Streakers route being the groove some 10m right.

In Coire nan Clach itself, the routes of Bag of Crystals and The Recluse lie immediately right of Dividing Buttress. The series of buttresses and gullies to the right of this are the ones described in the guide, with Crocus Gully topping out at about 093 997 (I think).

Promontory Gully lies on the nose that splits the corrie with other routes lying nearby.

Black Crag is a SW-facing outcrop below the plateau rim 400m ESE from the North Top containing several rock routes.
