Crag features

The crag is white in appearance due to the crystalline patina covering covering the mica-schist. The rock was a little flakey to begin with, but now after more traffic, it is cleaner and great to climb on. The routes are well bolted and fairly graded - if you drive and walk all that way you deserve to have an enjoyable day out! The two long left hand routes up through the bulges are superb and equal in quality to a lot of foreign limestone routes. The crag is south facing, sheltered and doesn't seem to suffer from midges. It's a real suntrap, and we've had many a scorching day up there, with magnificent views up and down Loch Lomond. Best times of year to visit are spring and late autumn when the ferns are down.
