Description

This has been top of my wishlist ever since I got into climbing. Probably just as well I didn't do it years ago when E2 was my limit, moving past the peg on wet footholds feels serious. Superb rock and positions, did not disappoint.

Area : Glen Coe and Glen Etive (Summer)

Glen Coe has some of the premier mountain crag trad climbing in the British Isles, especially on the various cliffs of Buachaille Etive Mor and Aonach Dubh. The Etive Slabs provide one of the few, and certainly the best, opportunity in the British Isles to savour the delights of friction granite slab climbing. For convenience, this DLOG area also includes the minor crags in Glen Etive, the granite outcrop of Stac an Eich above Ballachuilish and granite mountains between Oban and Appin (for example Ben Cruachan and Beinn Sgulaird).
