Description

Nice climb not much gear though!! Tree anchor at the top Brought up a second. we also continued to teach climbing skills to the group.
The reason we went here as the plan was to climb at in the area of Glen Sligachan however on the walk in the other instructors and myself made the decision to turn back as the weather had taken a turn for the worst and with out doubt the crag would have been a rather damp rock! so this is why we headed u to The White Dyke giving us shelter from the wind and we managed to dodge any rain.
Ending a 3 day strip to Skye.

Area : Northern Highlands South

Extending from Torridon in the north to Knoydart in the south, and including Glen Shiel, Glen Carron and Applecross, Northern Highlands South includes many excellent and varied trad climbing venues, both in the mountains and on outcrops. The high cliffs of Beinn Eighe are simply one of the very best locations to go rock climbing in the whole of the British Isles, with many outstanding climbs on climber-friendly quartzite, while if the weather doesn’t allow a visit there the nearby gneiss cliffs of Diabaig offer climbs that are beautiful in both quality and location. The sandstone cliffs of Applecross also have many popular climbs. While the trad climbing opportunities elsewhere in Northern Highland South are more scattered and less frequented, they will certainly repay the adventurous.
