Rockfax Description
45m. A serious outing even by Creag Dubh standards, although technically not too testing. Start as for Outspan beside the thin crack. Climb past a loose block at 4m to reach another block. Thin moves leftwards up the quartz to gain a plaque-like block above. Stand on this and move right to Outspan (peg). The climbing after this is still good and is safer. Follow Outspan up steep ground to the large hollow flake. Climb a quartz wall diagonally left to a grotty ledge. A steep shallow groove in the headwall leads to a tree.
