The Northern Highlands North area includes everything north from the A835 Dingwall to Ullapool road, with the exception of the Ben Wyvis range, as described in the SMC guidebook of the same name. This area has a great diversity of trad climbing, from the sandstone of Ardmair and the very popular Reiff sea-cliffs, the gneiss of the brilliant Inbhirpollaidh Rock Gym and Sheigra, the mountain cliffs of Assynt and Foinaven, the sea-stacks of the Old Man of Stoer and Am Buachaille, to the sea-cliffs of the Caithness coast, and much, much more. It’s a long way to travel for most people, but well worth it.
