Crag features

The main feature of the crag currently has no recorded routes. The hugely impressive overhanging wall presents quite a challenge. Around the overhanging wall are collection of much easier routes on interesting varied rock. With a friendly rock platform it can be a real sun trap. 

Apparently this area was used to corral crofters during the clearances!

Approach notes

Best to park considerately at Rhinns Hall. Walk along the road opposite towards Port Wemyss. Past the fish sheds there is a double set of metal gates. Go through these following sheep paths along the coast, Go over a broken stile by rusting farm machinery. Continue following sheep paths along the coast before you find another stile with another fence to squeeze through 10 feet away just before a grassy gully. Another 5 minutes or so walking and and you will see rocky slabs above the overhanging wall area. Easiest to scramble down to the right looking out to sea.

Access Advice

On farm land so usual caveats of closing gates and being considerate around livestock especially in lambing season.
