Description Suggest change

Waterloo is a completely natural line that ascends the left side of the Castle. 

Climb the slab left of The Keep with sparse but adequate protection to the prominent orange overhang. Gear here is thoughtful but solid. Pull through the steep crux moves on to the grey slab above. A fall from the slab may end up with a ledge fall making for an exciting and rewarding lead.

Location Suggest change

Left side of the Edinburgh Castle south face.

Protection Suggest change

Single set cams from micro to #4 and a robust set of stoppers. Offset cams are very helpful.
