This excellent wee crag lies about 800 metres west of Bennybeg, about 2 miles from Crief just off the A822. It is part of the same dolerite fault that forms Bennybeg but here the rock has weathered to form better, more continous lines with more natural protection. Pleasant, interesting climbing in a beautifully unspoilt woodland setting overlooking Drummond Pond makes this an excellent low to middle grade crag.

Park for Bennybeg. Follow a track on the opposite side of the road (large solid gate. Please close after use) along the edge of a felled forestry area a short way to its end and then through the woods to reach the east end of the crag.
Please be advised that there is a large birds nest at 2/3rds height in the central chimney of Pond Life.
There also appears to be a large birds next which is between Pecker up and Crocs in the Loch, 2/3rds of the way up on the East Wall. It wasn't occupied in September 2023 but may have been occupied earlier in the year. You can see the nest in the photo in SMC Highland outcrops south.
