About Creag nan Clach

Creag nan Clach is a prominent schist cliff situated in the Southern Highlands, providing scenic, open-air traditional climbing. The rock character features crystalline mica-schist with clean slab sections, horizontal wiring breaks, and steep corner lines. Facing south, the cliff gets full sun throughout the day and dries quickly after rain showers. The grade profile caters to mid-grade trad climbers, with routes from Severe to lower E-grades led by Clach Groove. The approach takes twenty minutes up open hillside trails from minor road laybys. Open exposure means the crag dries fast once rain passes.
