Out of print:
| There is an ab point about 10m up P2 of The Roost. There is an ab station in a fairly obvious gully about 50/60m (or thereabouts) to the left of the top of Bardo Thanol (looking out from the crag). You can't see the tat until you scramble down the gully a few metres. Frank the Husky - 12/Jun/21 | |
| A steady 75/90 minute approach that is usually wet, but almost flat the entire way. Where the quad bike track ends, head directly for the bothy and you'll soon pick up the path again over plank bridges. Frank the Husky - 12/Jun/21 |
