About Rest and Be Thankful Boulders

Rest and Be Thankful Boulders are a collection of prominent schist blocks scattered along the pass between Glen Croe and Glen Kinglas. The rock character features hard, coarse mica-schist with crisp crimps, sloper mantels, and steep overhangs. Individual boulder faces face various aspects along the valley floor, allowing easy selection of sun or shade. Bouldering grades cover a rich spectrum from VB up to elite 7th grade roof problems, featuring classics like Rest Arete. The approach takes between one and five minutes across grassy hillside directly from parking laybys along the A83. Heavy rainfall runoff across the valley floor can leave landing areas boggy.
