Restricted Access

 WARNING - Currently Eagles are still prospecting and may use the crag so please avoid climbing on Creag Ghlas until further notice. I will update once I get the all clear from the raptor group. Thanks Martin 25/03/25

The Crag may have restrictions during nesting period each year(early February to late July)if schedule one birds in residence. Depending on weather when surveyors go out to check it is not always possible to verify a nesting attempt easily so if you do notice or disturb raptors on the crag please let myself or Mountaineering Scotland know as soon as possible and nothing has been posted on either this site or the Mountaineering Scotland site. Check Mountaineering Scotland website for more details.

*Remember that any disturbance of protected species can constitute reckless disturbance even if you didn't know it was there and can still therefore be prosecuted so be careful and back off at first signs of any protected bird species being disturbed and inform Mountaineering Scotland to update their website to help inform others. Local raptor study group do monitor known crags including climbing crags.

240m, 5 pitches. The left edge of the east buttress. First pitch 4b then V Diff after that. This is a really fun route, quick drying and all main difficulty can be avoided if the very left edge of the initial pitch is taken, which would be a shame as it’s good. Above can be taken direct at V.Diff or indirect at Diff. The Direct has been soloed in 20 minutes; this is not a recommendation! A good way of continuing up the hill. There is also a reasonable Severe slab higher up on the right.
