A steep sunny sport crag covered in positive holds. Right side dries fairly quick (enough for a first visit anyway), left side some routes can seep for a day after rain. Catches any wind available. All routes fully bolted with ring lower-offs, a few small-med cams useful for the girdle.
Park at Beasdale train station midway between Lochailort and Arisaig, or if you're car-less or feeling enviromentally minded and can stomach Scotrail's prices, get the train!
The station house is privately owned which apparently includes the parking, although the owner has allowed climbers to park there in the past. If busy, or no space without blocking others, park to the east at NM 7157 8506 and walk back along the road to follow description below:
Cross the road and find a faint trail heading up through heather and bracken opposite the middle of the house, after 50 metres at the first flattening head NE for 5 mins untill you exit the forest with a tiny stream down on your right. Aim back NW towards 2 telegraph poles close together, then N towards a delapidated dead tree and the re-entrant behind it, untill you can head West to the crag. (This is for maximum bracken conditions, you could probably go more direct in spring.) 15-20 mins, quite boggy.
