About Craigmore

Craigmore is a famous jointed basalt cliff situated near Aberfoyle on the edge of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. The rock character consists of dark, columnar basalt offering vertical wall climbing on small crimps, side-pulls, and clean crack lines. Facing south, the cliff acts as a reliable sun trap and dries fast after rain, making it a staple venue for Central Belt climbers. The route profile is heavily weighted toward mid-to-high grade traditional climbs between VS and hard E-grades, highlighted by Craigmore Corner. The approach takes fifteen minutes up a steep woodland trail starting from forestry laybys off the A821. Polished holds on popular routes and midge concentration during calm summer evenings are worth noting.
