Crag features
No-tidal, steep bouldering throughout several caves. Still some steep potential. There are a number of sport projects as well, although the bolts have corroded and are in need of replacing.
NOTE - bolts have now been replaced, any info about the original sport routes, if they had ascents names grades would be appreciated. There are now three sport lines with 2 lines remaining as hard open projects.
The rock can be a little chossy in places, primarily due to the lack of traffic, but the vast majority of problems are on good rock.
The landings are mostly excellent, although care must be taken as there may be broken glass/debris scattered under problems courtesy of the local yobs! Most of this has now been removed but best keep an eye out. Mats are advisable.
An excellent topo is available at http://www.scottishclimbs.com/wiki/Cullen_Caves
Approach notes
From Cullen: The caves are a 15 minutes walk from the beach at Cullen which has plenty of car parking. Walk up the length of the beach past the golf course and join the path, the caves are obvious on the left once off the beach and round the corner.
From Portknockie: Park at the playpark and cross the fields to a sign on the cliff where there are concrete steps which will take you to the caves past Jennys Well. Also possible to park at the Bow Fiddle car park and walk straight east to the headland and the same sign.
