80m, 2 pitches.
This route is located at the far southern end of the ridge forming Meall Dhamh.
At the last large boulders at the foot of the ridge continue for a further 500m south a large bowl will come into view with number of lines draining into it. On the right hand side of the bowl you should see a large overhanging crag. Start at NN 39982 21676.
This route climbs the centre of the bowl directly behind a small outcrop.
1. 60m - move up and right, through a small gap to the foot of a steep ice fall. Possibility to go either left or right at about the same grade. Climb up the left side until it eases and reach the base of another slightly less steep ice fall.
2. 20m - At this point it is possible to go easily left and to the top or much more elegantly continue up the ice fall until a short wall bars the way, move left then up to finish and easy ground

βeta: First Ascent - This crag should be better known, well worth a visit with some nice lines - most routes start at about 720m height so requires good freeze. | βeta? | |
