Corbie's Craig from the West © tlouth7
Crag features
A surprisingly tall piece of rock which faces out over the Hermitage giving a great sense of exposure. The rock is well featured but gear is sparse. There is some loose and friable rock and some gorse on the crag itself. The best rock is on the left: from Slab and Tower area around to Retromingent Ridge.
Approach notes
A path runs through the gorse around the base of the crag, giving prickle free access. The path can be approached from various directions: from the woods below work your way up the slope towards the right hand side of the crag; from the observatory carpark head Southwest towards the right hand side of the obvious hummock. Go around the side, where a short easy scramble down beside Slab and Tower brings you to the base of the crag. Alternatively from the observatory carpark head South, then where the path turns right into a gully instead take a smaller path through the bushes on the right. Follow this across the slope to the crag.
No Access Issues

| Loose and gearless. All routes are a serious undertaking. camw - 23/Jun/06 |

| This is an often overlooked crag on Blakford hill. It makes a nice change to the quarry but has a more serious feel about it. There is some loose rock, but there is also good rock to find. Corbie's Crag makes a good escape from the south of the city, and often Kestrels fly below you as you climb. Mehmet Karatay - 19/Apr/06 |
