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 acccomodating of the bolting and climbing in the Heughs. **

15m. Climb the short corner to an overlap, pull through this to a ledge. From here, climb the intricate wall above on pockets, crimps and sidepulls to a pumpy finish.

βeta: The block the third bolt is in sounds rather hollow. Perhaps it’s best to think of that clip as a psychological runner and not one for actually falling off on to.
