About Glen Brittle Boulders

Glen Brittle Boulders is a premier Scottish bouldering field scattered along the floor of Glen Brittle and the lower slopes of Coire Lagan beneath the Cuillin ridge on Skye. The rock is extremely tough Gabbro and Volcanic Dolerite, offering aggressive, ultra-rough friction, crisp crimps, and smooth water-worn features. Spread across the open glen floor, aspects vary widely across individual blocks, and elevated mountain airflow ensures rapid drying after heavy mountain showers. The climbing style is pure bouldering, featuring world-class problems across all grades from friendly warm-ups to fierce roof projects like Champagne Supernova. The approach ranges from a five-minute walk for roadside blocks to a twenty-minute walk for higher sector blocks along the Coire Lagan trail. The primary consideration for visitors is the aggressive rock texture; the gabbro is notoriously abrasive on skin, so pacing sessions is essential.
