Never knew about this place! How did it get omitted from modern guidebooks?

It's in the current SMC Glencoe guide, but there are only 8 routes and no diagrams. It's a bit of a hike in, so it's never likely to be busy. We walked in over Meall Garbh and cached out kit at the saddle taking just one small sack forward and dropping down to the slabs. After the climb, we continued up to the summit to tick the Munro and picked the rest of our kit up on the way out.
The rock was really grippy granite, similar to the Etive slabs just over the hill. This was despite the small amount of seepage and the fact that it started drizzling.
It would be nice to go in and camp, then smash the existing routes and add a few more.

Thanks. Sounds worth a pop.

Yes, a great slab on good solid granite with excellent views down the glen. A bit of a grunt getting there but you can tick off a Munro. There is a photo diagram of the routes I did back in 1976ish. I have no idea why this crag didn’t get the recognition it deserves, maybe in time......
