Has anyone climbed on the large boulders about 10 minutes up Glen Fyne? I saw them yesterday on my way back from a walk and they looked pretty good. For anyone that's interested, they're on the east side of the Glen at NN210140 or thereabouts. I didn't get off my bike to look more closely or check the exact position but they look to be falling out of the bottom of a big ravine.

I went up for a look last year. A few big bits of rock in the trees. Nice spot. One very highball boulder lower down that's obvious. The giant spike of rock you see in the trees higher up looks great, but is actually cheese. There's also a big overhang somewhere in the trees with a super-sloped landing making the tops very highball. Always been meaning to go back.

Checked them out years ago, there are some king lines up there. Surprised no one has really developed them yet given the proximity to Glasgow.

Sounds like we need to do something about this!

Should point out "the Watson was threatened with a shotgun by the farmer on a previous visit"

The mitre shaped rock being referenced is the one with pretty cruddy rock.
