Crag features

This is a crazy impressive NW-facing wall of slate that's been quarried away to form a giant Z-shaped gash across the entire width of a small hill.

The quarry was last used in the 1871. It would appear that the large blocks of slate were either prised out from the walls to be worked, or were dumped into the ravine after the work ceased in the quarry. Certainly, the large cracked boulder looks like it was purposefully been seperated from the main wall, perhaps by a giant crow bar... :). Other than that, there has been very little, if any. movement from the rocks in the past 30 years. 

The 'floor' of the gash at the west end is made up of smaller bits of slate and is OK. While the eastern end has much larger blocks, and requires some care to move across them. Watch your footing!

The whole thing is cordoned off behind a fence with 'DANGER - Keep out' signs so you cannot say you were not warned. Perhaps the 'Danger' refers to the midges.

Lowland Outcrops grid ref is wrong but description is correct that it's on the second headland beyond Sallochy car park. The guidebook suggests approaching the east, which is most certaintly easier than accessing from the west. Once arriving at the quarry you can either move across the stones or go around it.

On the main face, opposite the fallen block, there is clear evidence of rusting bolt lines and a few pegs but they are all super-rusted and definitely not viable protection. It won't get any sun and could be quite wet in winter.

There are trees growing on the top of the hill which will serve as belay points.

The eastern end has an impressive overhanging wall with potential for short powerful boudlering routes. The wall quickly rises to become immensively impressive but for the most part blank. However, potential exists for a few routes. The climbs that do exist are close by the fallen block. The fallen block is itself a fun thing to explore, take a torch and you will find you can go quite deep into it... Watch out for bears..
