Restricted Access
Please Avoid the shore of the loch from March- end July as it is a criminal offence to disturb the Schedule 1 listed Slavonian Grebes nesting here. (They occupy the sedge beds at the loch edges and are very sensitive to disturbance. When disturbed they will abandon a nest, then go through the process of finding a mate, displaying and nest building all over again so it sets them back weeks if they are disturbed
Serious Access issues here
The RSPB Own this land and as far as they are concerened we are tolerated.

* Please use the top path NOT the one past Loch Ruthven hide from start March-end July
* Please park considerately and leave NO mess, take home other mess.
Just right of the start to Voldemort at the bottom end of the Blocked Rock Right Arete.
Stand Start {No Foot Ramp} half way along the Right arete ledge. Throw a heel up left ( i know this seems wrong ;} ) and reach for the sharp incut sidepull. Bump to a press that allows you to find the slot and edge at mid hight.....Maneuver and reach for the lip.
Some high feet and a wee dyno allows a very satisfying Top Out.
