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. Nice climbing through the overhang to the obvious corner above. Tackle the overhang with gymnastic moves (good holds to the right of the bolts) to gain the corner which is climbed to its top.

S Rider 29/Oct/2013.

βeta: Loose rock in the second half. Fell when a foothold broke off under my foot. Lots of little rocks raining down on my belayer too.
