Craighouse crag © Michael Haywood

Crag features

A great wee crag. The routes aren’t particularly long, but the venue makes up for it by being 5 minutes walk from the car and boasting unrivalled views over the Tweed valley to the Cheviots. The crag is in two sections separated by about 20 meters of broken ground. The routes at the right side of the crag can suffer from some seepage after heavy rain. The crag at Craighouse is thought to have been climbed on for many years.

Approach notes

Approach: The best approach is to park off the road on the wide verge just inside the junction up to Craighouse quarry. Continue on foot up this road past the farm on your right. Just before the quarry entrance head right across a couple of fields to the crag

Access Advice

The farmer has been know to be grumpy about people climbing at this crag. However, providing that you are not parked in such a way as to obstruct any of his activities and are behaving responsibly there is no grounds for this unfriendliness. 

'Traverse to Smailholm' climbs above a fenced area that means a great deal to him so perhaps avoid this particular route to keep the peace.
