Ruthven boulder in great winter nick. © Fiend
Crag features
Pristine often Sharp Gneiss on the well travelled problems...expect to lose skin!!!Landings tend to be flat and good.
There are hundreds of potential links and eliminates, not all are worthwhile. If in doubt of the main lines look at the number of logged ascents here or refer to the guidebook.
Approach notes
From the A9 just south of Inverness take the turning toward Fort Augustus B851 toward the Village of Farr, keep going through Brinmore untill you reach Crouchy there is a Sign for Loch Ruthven Nature Reserve. follow this down the single track road and use the Reserve Car Park.The road gets incredibly icey in winter, drive carefully and best to have winter tyres on!
