Description

Really cool route but quite a tricky traverse.
I was definitely having to think quite a bit about where to put gear and how to keep my second safe.
Ropes got a bit twisted on the belay but other than that I was happy with how I led it and my second felt safe.

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.
