Restricted Access

TO PRESERVE ACCESS follow the approach instructions above - DO NOT PARK IN ESTATE FIELD ENTRANCES/GATEWAYS

** There is a voluntary climbing ban during the shooting season 1st Oct - 1st Feb. While this is not legally enforceable under Scottish Land Rights Act (walking is still permitted along the paths), it is strongly encouraged to keep a good relationship with the estate, who are currently very accommodating of the bolting and climbing in the Heughs. **

21m. Climb the shallow groove to the right of ‘Fear and Loathing’. Tackle the blocky bulge directly, then follow the black streak to a steep crack and airy finish.

βeta: The loose hold has been (inadvertently) removed (by my climbing partner). In its place there is now a sizeable jug, making the big span into the crack much easier and possibly lowering the grade.

βeta: Poorly drawn X to left of bolt 9, bolt is secure but do not weight the good looking jug on the left, it is absolutely not secure and is going to blow

βeta: The route it self is awesome. I took a couple of falls as small pebbles came off my hand and feet. Once the route is solid, it will be a 3 starts route as the moves are interesting and it\'s very consistent
