Description Suggest change

This 900 foot crag is one of the best in Scotland, with many fine summer and winter routes. The climbing varies from committing slabs to steep and strenuous cracks.

Getting There Suggest change

From the Cairngorm plateau take the western descent into the Loch A'an basin and skirt around the west edge of the loch towards the crag.
