An ok venue with some easy routes and scope for 3 or 4 more harder ones if someone wants to clean them up. It's a far cry from Torridon quality but a bit of fun before tea and cake along the road. 700 meters before Stalker View Cafe when coming from from Fort William/Glencoe. The boulder has 4 aspects. West  facing the road, North facing the road  and the obvious overhanging prow between N/NE. The NE aspect has a fairly blank steep wall of quartzite, and the easier slabby SW aspect has most of the easy routes and the way down. The North aspect is highest at 5 meters so the more matts the better for unplanned landings. Be aware that due to the nature of the rock some holds may creak a little, but we have tried as best as possible to take off the worst, and the recorded routes should be ok. Some sharp flaky/crimpy holds and jugs. The top is peat and dead vegetation making the finish of some routes like The Prow and Fast Blood require pulling on a dead stump and they seem to hold - so far. This peat soaks the finishing hold when wet so be aware. The route grades are a starting point as its been hard to grade them as I am not a boulderer in the modern idiom, so comments welcome.

Approach notes

Park as for Dallens Rock Sport routes. Best to turn at a lay bye 300m before Stalker View Cafe and park facing NE in a small laybye on the left under trees or on the verge on left  just beyond a road sign. The boulders are obvious 150m away and up the bank 2mins from road.
