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. 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.
