Description

A great crag for budding trad leaders. The whole wall is covered in holds and gear placements on solid rock. The routes are steep and long enough to be interesting.

Top ropes are easy to set if you have long cord.

Getting There

This crag is visible from the picnic tree - look on the right skyline, directly past Cake Walk.

The guidebook says to approach from the picnic tree, passing Cake Walk and Box Crag. A better approach is from the campsite. Walk on the well-worn trail to Edinburgh Castle, passing Gumshoe Crag and turning left when you enter a wide clearing. Walk towards the top of the cliff and walk down on climber's right.
