Description

Wow, wow and more wow. We cycled in and left the bikes at the loch. Then walked over to the wall. Only 2 people in front of us when we arrived. Glenn led the pitches as I wasn't confident. Was my first time doing hanging belays and I absolutely loved it. I am confident I can set up the belays, I just need to improve my climbing.

Area : Highland Outcrops: Creag Dubh and Laggan to Dalwhinnie

The area west of Fort William and south of the A86 road to Kingussie includes some well known and popular climbing grounds, notably Binnein Shuas. Although arguably more accurately placed in the Speyside section, this DLOG area also includes Creag Dubh at Newtonmore, with the boundary between the two sections made at Kingussie. Further east, and approached from Dalwhinnie, the fine Dirc Mor has several substantial climbs in the middle to upper grades in an interesting geological feature.
