About Luath's Stone Boulders

Luath's Stone Boulders comprise a group of distinctive gneiss and granite bouldering blocks situated near Aberdeenshire's Whitehouse region. The rock character features high-friction, coarse rock with sharp crimps, rounded mantels, and clean arêtes. With blocks offering various aspects, climbers can easily find sunny or sheltered faces depending on the season. Bouldering grades span friendly introductory lines up to technical 7th grade problems, featuring lines like Luath's Flake. The approach takes under ten minutes along open hillside trails from minor road parking. The exposed position helps keep midges at bay during breezy spring afternoons.
