summary
Conglomerate cliff - mainly well equipped bolted sport routes. Helmet is thoroughly recommended, especially for the belwayer.
description
Excellent south facing crag. Very quick drying, seemingly with it's own micro climate - often gloriously sunny when in Inverness it is raining heavily.
access issues
Don't block the gate onto the main road. Often Ravens nesting on the route which bears their namesake.
approach
Park on the grass verges ( 57.558383, -4.515584) to each side of the paved entrance - do not block the gate as this is used frequently by the estate staff with vehicles. From the road walk toward the obvious cliffs up clear paths. Less than 200m walk from the roadside.
where to stay
Inverness is a very short drive (15 mins), or there are numerous options within walking distance. The area is very popular for fishing and hiking.
ethic
Ravens nest here frequently. Check the Mountaineering Scotland website for updates on bird bans.

-
All Trad climbing

Faces south and the gneiss dries relatively quickly. The lower tier routes are generally not in the same league as the many fine routes in the upper tier, except for perhaps Balaton.

1.3.1. Coire an t-Sneachda 32 routes in Crag
- Summary:
-
Mostly Alpine climbing
Lat / Long: 57.107449, -3.660926
summary
One of the most reliable and easily accessed winter climbing venues in Scotland. Its altitude and northerly aspect allow its rocky mixed routes to come into condition easily.
description
The relatively short approach from the Cairngorm ski centre, combined with plenty of good climbs in the low to mid grades, mean it is often busy, particularly early in the season. Although it is best known as a mixed climbing venue, there is also a surprising amount of worthwhile rock climbing in summer, including the classic Magic Crack. Beware rockfall in thaw periods.
approach
1.3.2. Coire an Lochain 3 routes in Crag
- Summary:
-
All Alpine climbing
Lat / Long: 57.104955, -3.680215
summary
A slightly longer approach than its neighbour, Corrie an t-Sneachda, makes this corrie a lot quieter.
description
Some excellent, reliable winter climbing - the steeper nature of this corrie yields some excellent technical mixed climbing and also very good rock climbing.
approach
Be very aware of snow conditions in Corrie an Lochain. The 'Great Slab' is a notorious avalanche black spot, and should be avoided at all costs should avalanche conditions prevail i.e. during/after heavy snow or thaw.
1.3.3. Loch Avon Basin 7 routes in Area
- Summary:
-
All Trad climbing
Lat / Long: 57.101518, -3.634403
summary

where to stay
The Shelter Stone and surrounding boulders provide some howfs and bivi sites. Protect your food from scavenging mice.

Lat / Long: 57.060666, -3.041961
summary
The quick-drying Craig an t'Seabhaig at the Pass of Ballater provides some brilliant, steep climbs on generally excellent Cairngorm Granite.
Popular with Aberdonians - excellent wet weather alternative if Creag an Dubh Loch and Lochnagar are shrouded in cloud.
Surrounding woodland provides interesting flora and fauna - esp. ants.
description
Large south facing crag.
Must-dos: Peels Wall (E4 6a), Rattlesnake (E3 6a), Anger and Lust (E2 5c), Smith's Arete (E5 6a), Lucky Strike (VS 4c), Little Cenotaph (HVS 5b)
approach
Park your car at the bottom of the crag in the small car park (57.059849, -3.043871). Follow the footpath until you see a steep pathed slope. The crag begins at the top of the footpath. Stick to path as erosion is a problem.
ethic
Trad climbing only. Respect the local environment and leave no trace. Make sure to clear anchors as there has been a lot of scrap webbing abandoned at the crag.
Bird nesting may happen during season (March-September). Please be vigilant and don't climb when they are present.

Lat / Long: 56.954119, -3.269529
1.3.8. Glen Clova (Red Craig) 21 routes in Area
- Summary:
-
All Trad climbing
Lat / Long: 56.867892, -3.162228
summary
Roadside crag with a sunny aspect, which can be climbed on for most of the year. Good quality natural trad lines, mostly single pitch, although some two-pitch routes may be found.
description
A classic of Scotland for good trad cragging. Provides grades from Moderate to E8 in a beautiful setting. The crag is divided in two main areas: The Dun Mor hill (containing the Upper and Lower Doonie) to the west above the quarry, and the Main Cliffs (containing several buttresses), which sit on top of the scree slope near the road.
Descent: easy walk-offs are possible on the side of the hills, however there is a convenient ab point on top of Red Wall (E1) on the Upper North-West crag, and another by the trees left of the top of Vindaloo on the Upper Doonie.
access issues
No issues.
approach
Drive on the B955 towards the Glen Clova Hotel. When you reach the hotel, turn left towards the Glen Doll Car Park. After driving 4.10km (2.55miles), you'd have arrived to the base of the slope from where you want to hike up to the crag. Park on the side of the road (56.865432, -3.163804) , being considerate of farmers and landowners, and avoiding the obvious laybys used for passing vehicles. Alternatively, continue driving for another 0.5km (2000ft) and you'll find a nice old quarry where parking is much more convenient (56.867293, -3.168910). This second option gives direct access to The Doonie.
ethic
No bolts or fixed anchors. For lower-off, either walk down or set up a rappel station.
Always check possible BIRD NESTING RESTICTIONS that may be active.
Please check Mountaneering Scotland - Bird and Nesting updates before your visit.

One of the best venues in the central belt for those operating in the E3-5 range (plenty to go at above and below too).
description
Even though the crag has since a bit of a renaissance in 2017 with a committed band of locals tidying things up, clearing back vegetation and giving some of the routes a much needed scrub, a lot more is there to do yet, with lines suffering from moss accumulation and bad conditions.
Very sheltered, left wall catches evening sun in summer. However, can seep quite a bit over the winter. Very close to the M9 so makes an ideal stopping off point if heading further north or south.
approach
Walk straight south and after passing a bunch of fallen trees you'll reach the crag in 3-4 mins.

description
As with all the Central belt dolerite quarries there is often loose rock to be found here, particularly on the top-outs and even on well established routes.
approach
Park at the west end of Old Drove Road, walk through the barrier, and after about 60m take the left path (sign-posted) that goes slightly uphill. First route on the left is a lonely pillar with an interesting E1 (Ninety-Five).
