Ducteach crag is 55m in height, slabby, composed of schist and lies at about the 500meter contour south west from Beinn Ducteach summit and is situated directly opposite from Stob nan Eighrach. Approx. 10 mins from Beinn Ducteach summit.
The crag has three distinct roofs in decreasing sizes. These roofs tend to mark fissures running across the width of the crag. These fissures indicate that the crag may not be particularly stable. Note there are some loose blocks and flakes, protection though Is generally good.
1st pitch – start at the lowest point on the crag, climb a steep wall to a heathery bay and continue to a recess below the first roof. Climb the right edge of the recess, turning the roof on it’s right side on good holds to gain a ledge. Continue straight up past the ledge following a thin crack in a steep, short wall. Gain the heathery ledge above and belay (30m)
2nd pitch – climb the slabby wall above and to the right of the second roof following a thin crack. Continue up, picking the easiest line to the top of the crag. The belay is awkward here as there is a large, wide fissure running across the crag (25m)
