Cave Crag

International > Europe > United Kingdom > Scotland > Highland Outcrops > Craig-a-Barns

Description

Cave crag offers step climbing on good quality mica schist. The crag is split into two distinct tiers.

There are a good variety of bold trad routes and hard sport climbs to be found.

Getting There

Drive through Dunkled and take the first right after passing through the village (A923). Take the second turning on the left and drive along a single track road. Take a left turn, after a cattle grid, and park up on a grassy turn out.

Follow the path from the parking lot along the hillside. After 400 yards take the right fork and follow it along until some rocks appear. Cross over a stream and then take a right up the hillside. The lower tier is reached by traversing right early. For the upper tier continue on up the hillside, until the obvious cliff is reached.
