While Lochnagar is primarily a winter climbing venue, there are several excellent summer cimbs, the most popular of which is the classic Eagle Ridge. Creag an Dubh Loch has a wealth of high quality long routes across the grade range and of a variety of styles. Eagle Rocks on the opposite side of the loch are home to some good clean slab climbs.
Guiding Jessica and Trevor up it. Trevor had wanted to do it for years so was keen to push it as the objective. I had to haul the daughter up three sections and took 6h to climb as the route was at the top/above their grade. I knew it would be a challenging day but they both embraced it and had a brilliant time. 12h car to car.
