OSSUARY BLOCK. “Find Meat on Bones” -
10m - E8 6c*** - Iain Small 2015.
This route finds a complex sequence up the challenge of the middle of the wall. Start off the stonemason’s wall on the right. Headpointed above a bouldering mat, though it isn’t going to help much up there!
The Ossuary Block aka Carragh Dearg (SMCJ 2009) is the obvious towering crag just south of the popular bouldering area known as Reiff-in-the-Woods. It is just above the east end of Loch Bad a’Ghaill and about 2km west of Stac Pollaidh (NC 091 093), 10mins. Zigzag down some steep slopes and go across rough ground. The excellent rough rock dries quickly.There are two excellent highball boulder problems that start off the terrace on the left side of the crag. The Beast’s Lair (6m Font 6B+) takes the blunt arete on the left above the big flake and Vipe-out (8m Font 7A) goes up the wall right of the dirty corner to an easier layback finish. Perhaps E5 6b in old money.
