Flodigarry offers dramatic basalt sea cliff climbing situated on the northeastern coast of Skye's Trotternish peninsula. The rock character features columnar basalt with sharp vertical cracks, layback flake edges, and sustained gear placements. Facing east over the Minch, the crag catches morning sun and dries steadily in ocean air currents. The climbing caters to competent traditional climbers, featuring pumpy crack routes and face climbs between VS and hard E-grades, led by Flodigarry Wall. The approach takes twenty minutes along coastal paths from the Flodigarry Hotel area. Loose basalt blocks on upper cliff rims demand care when setting belays.
