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. Bridge up the corner to clip the first bolt. A few awkward moves lead to respite at half height before the fun begins in the corner. Traverse right below the lip and head for the anchor shared with ‘Diamond in the Rough’. Using a longer quickdraw on the second last bolt (under the top lip) is recommended.
6c+ if you continue up the left groove for the top moves.

βeta: I found it fine skipping the bolt just under the bulge near the top, and I'm not that tall. Good hold to clip off of, despite the stretch.
