Restricted Access

Please Avoid the shore of the loch from March- end July as it is a criminal offence to disturb the Schedule 1 listed Slavonian Grebes nesting here. (They occupy the sedge beds at the loch edges and are very sensitive to disturbance. When disturbed they will abandon a nest, then go through the process of finding a mate, displaying and nest building all over again so it sets them back weeks if they are disturbed

The Low roof and sharp Arete Characterising the Big Horn.

Sit Start under the roof with both feet on the left side footblock, From this you should reach and pull on a closer to yer feet lip crimp for your left and a half-moon crimp on the right lip.
Throw a left heel and start working toward the Arete.
Various heels and hugs get you to the (not at all straightforward} sharp arete. The Beta varies greatly here but try with yer arse hingin oot in space to reach the big ledge atop said Razor Arete....This is the Crux.
Work round right and follow the rising rounded arete to Top Out.

* Sequencey

** Great Moves and Well deserves its 3 stars.

***King Line and Future Classic.

Worth mentioning that padding is on a slope and spotting is a bit crap, Best Not to Fall ;)
