βeta: The Scottish Rock Climbs wired guide describes an additional two pitches at the bottom to reach the start. Although this can be "scrambled" many people will prefer the the use of a rope expecially on the second of these pitches. | βeta? | |

βeta: I concur with other commentators that the crux pitch is E2 and dangerous if starting on the left as the description on here and smc wired guide suggest. The 2005 smc scottish rock description is to climb a small corner. I would rewrite it , climb a short corner then up thin cracks to the left end of a ledge system. Wider cracks lead leftwards . Climbed with crest jewel on May 31. The route is possibly hvs + this way. | βeta? | |

βeta: The topo in the SMC Cuillin guide indicates the start of P2. P1 follows approximately the line of the slant but left of the chimney (as described) | βeta? | |

βeta: The crux pitch has a few suspect holds and some Hollow blocks at the half way ledge, might loose a star, go easy. | βeta? | |

βeta: A descent to the starting point can be made by Lochan Traverse: From the top scramble up then rightwards til you can reach The Sgumain stone chute. Descend this until yo see a line of weakness with vague path crossing back across the buttress towards Coire Lagan. Follow this making more of a descending line at the point where it turns into a more intimidating basalt dyke. The hardest bit is the final step to Coire Lagan which can be wet. | ||
