About Glen Clova (Red Craig)

Glen Clova (Red Craig) is a major Angus Glen cliff offering impressive granite and mica-schist wall climbing high above the valley floor. The rock character consists of vertical slabs, steep corner cracks, and rough, highly-featured face climbing on sound rock. Facing south, the crag receives maximum sunlight throughout the day and dries relatively fast, though deep crack systems can hold moisture after prolonged rain. The climbing spans mid-grade traditional classics to steep E-grade testpieces, highlighted by the central route Red Craig. The approach requires a twenty-five minute uphill walk through heather and scree from parking near Clova. Loose rock on unclimbed peripheral walls and high-summer midges are the primary factors to consider.
