Blaven (Blabheinn) is an isolated, magnificent Cuillin peak offering vast, wild mountain walls above Coire a' Bhasteir and Coire Uaigneich. The mountain is formed of coarse gabbro and dark basalt, providing rough, sharp holds and deep crack features across towering buttresses. Facing east and northeast at high elevation, the cliffs retain dampness in gullies and take time to dry after wet Atlantic weather systems move through. The crag offers serious multi-pitch traditional climbing across lower-grade mountain routes up to bold E-grade face climbs, headlined by Overhanging Wall. The approach demands a sustained, two-hour mountain walk along rocky trails starting from the parking area at Loch Slapin. Remote mountain exposure, severe weather shifts, and loose basalt blocks in unclimbed areas require full mountaineering self-sufficiency.
