doz	14 Sep, 2022	Show βeta βeta: Pitch one...three foot by one foot block just out of the awkward, chockstone chimney on the small rhs ledge.....looks well bedded but has become dangerously loose....be careful!

RobEdwards	10 Jun, 2022	Show βeta βeta: The sketch in classic rock is incorrect and shows the start much higher up the gully than it actually is. If you go up this corner expect to retreat via in situ tat or an old peg. The real route starts much lower, 40m down the gully

rockstott	11 Oct, 2021	Show βeta βeta: The large (car sized) Boulder that forms the right hand side of the ‘sentry box’ somehow swivels slightly. I only noticed once in the sentry box and whilst belaying noticed it moved about an inch or so back and forth. I didn’t notice what was beneath or around it, or how well supported from below it is but it would be worth noting that and commenting further if anyone has any info. Other than it swivelling, it’d be far too big to move but very disconcerting nonetheless!

wolfiex	20 Sep, 2021	Show βeta βeta: Now graded a HS in scottish rock. A sustained S climb with some (isolated) funky moves - namely a polished slopery rockover using a wet fist jam off an exposed knife-edge in the penultimate pitch (approaching HVS difficulty). Can be climbed in short pitches 30m but better with a 50m single. Also a cam graveyard, often placed slightly off route.

maxf	26 Jul, 2021	Show βeta βeta: Building on previous feedback: No snow or access difficulties 25 July Loose flake on p3 easily avoidable. Not much harder without it. Hollow blocks on rightward traverse as per "Scottish Mountain Ridges" description but nothing deadly. 50m pitches as per Scottish Mountain Ridges" description involves a lot of rope drag. Possible with long runners and some tactical run outs- but less experienced leaders may wish to shorten pitches.

IainMunro	11 Jul, 2021	Show βeta βeta: Some very loose rock on pitch 3, test every handhold before you commit. Would be worth belaying below the crest at the end of pitch 2 to stay out the fall line

alisoncraig94	2 Aug, 2020	Show βeta βeta: As others have said, the loose flake on pitch 3 remains attached, for now. Avoiding using it makes the move a little harder and that section a little more sustained.

olivertwist	5 Jul, 2020	Show βeta βeta: Excellent route. The only climbing pair in Lochnagar. It rained for about 30 mins but the route dries off very quickly. Due to very little traffic in 2020 there was some lichen on the slabby sections, when it was wet these became pretty slippery. Excellent exposure but always with protection. Did it in approach shoes and felt a bit stiff for S (only for a couple of moves). Scottish Rock does now grade it a HS.	βeta?
