About Strathyre Crag

Strathyre Crag is a compact schist sport venue overlooking the village of Strathyre in the Trossachs, developed heavily through the 1990s Central Belt sport-climbing boom. The rock is clean mica-schist with a mix of vertical technical walls, positive edges, and a couple of steeper feature-based grooves offering good pumpy climbing. Facing broadly west, the crag catches afternoon and evening sun and dries reasonably fast in the valley breeze, though a canopy of trees along the base means the lowest sections can retain moisture in shade. The route selection favours climbers already tuned into schist crimping, with most lines pitched in the Fr6b to Fr7a+ band and a few harder testpieces above that. Approach is straightforward, roughly fifteen minutes up a forestry track from parking on the western side of the A84 opposite the village. Midges are a real factor on windless summer evenings.
