    Kyloe in the woods

    £0.50

The climbing is three star and the sequences needed to succeed on the problems can be difficult to work out, drawing you back to the woods for more. The rest of the crag will be added later.

  2. Culnamean, Ghrunnda Boulders, An Sguman, Coire Lagan

    Gabbrofest

    £2.00

    This guide illustrates all the great boulders climbed to date in the Coire Lagan area of the Cuillins. A unique climbing experience- thousands of gabbro boulders lie among the glaciated slabs - between the altitudes of 200m and 600m - giving some of the finest mountain bouldering in the country. Only the most obvious routes have been climbed so far - leaving hundreds more - in more remote areas - unclimbed. The rock is generally solid and clean - although new climbs may need some hard brushing. Due to a lack of weathering - there are rarely any features on the roofs and steeper walls - so alot of the problems tend to be on lip traverses - aretes - thin faces and sometimes cracks. Gabbro is well known for its incredible roughness - many a bouldering trip has been abandoned early due to raw fingertips - so gloves/finger tape is advised. A bouldering mat would also be useful - as the landings are usually either in a bog - stream or on rocks. Learn More

  4. Carn Liath

    Carn Liath

    £1.00

    Aside from the great (but painful) gabbro boulders of Coire Lagan, there is also a collection of finer-grained basalt boulders at Carn Liath off the A855 to Staffin. About 13km north of Portree, before the hamlet of Rigg and the conifer plantations, two burns tumble down from Carn Liath hill on the west. Approach up the main grassy ridge to the west onto the flat boggy moorland (the main cliff is visible high up ahead). Aim for a mini col at about 300m, right of the cliff. From here you can see a couple of thousand boulders. The main bouldering area is on the flat area at about 250m. It is a complex place to explore but there are some terrific natural problems. Described here are the best of the lines so far developed by James Sutton, Lee Robinson and friends. Expect to get lost in the jumble! Learn More

  6. Applecross (Culduie)

    Culduie

    £0.50

    The Culdie area is scattered with small terraces and free standing blocks. The rock is a superb super-fine grained Torridonian Sandstone which is easy on the skin. Just south of Culduie there is a fissure, called Slochd na Beinn, named by one of the locals the Valley-of-the-Kings. the scope for development here spreads all the way along the hill. The rock is old and weathered, so caution is required in places. Before Pulling on any problems it may be worth testing to see how hollow the rock sounds. This is especially so on the wall problems where the erosive patterns seem to create hollow flakes, but all the problems that are recorded here were done are on sound rock, especially the free standing boulders of the Sphinx and Sarcophagus. Approach Culduie is 3 miles south of Applecross village. Drive through Culdie and carry on for another half mile and park just before a bridge. Walk SE towards the entrance of the valley, and the Sphinx boulder will come into site, it is an obvious free standing rock 100m before the valley. The majority of the bouldering is on the left hand side of the valley. From the Sphinx, cross the wall, then head up the left flank to arrive on the terrace above the large crag. Learn More
