Its in the main jumble at Screapadal. Might be in the recent Stone Country book? I think this was about V4 and good, but not great. Bit sandy. Plenty to do. Wacky place.
Thanks. Sure thing.. part of the reason im putting them up! We have a load of fantastic climbing in wild places up here. Ive done next to nothing down there though!
Would you say bouldering here is worth it (and other parts in the highlands)? Or would you rather just go to something like peak district with a little better climate? I am looking to move to Edinburgh and want to know how realistic it is to go outdoor bouldering and climbing often around Scotland.
It depends what you want out of your bouldering. The Highlands offer wilderness, variety, isolation and new development that is unmatched anywhere else in the UK. As far as climate is concerned, they key is flexibility. Youve got to be willing to drive. Edinburgh and Inverness are ideal bases and both have strong bouldering scenes. People have preconceptions about the weather and variability of Scottish climbing but the reality is, if your motivated and pick your objective to suit the conditions, you can climb year round. I certainly do, as do many of my friends.
@@peterherd8644 Thanks man. I am drawn to the wilderness a lot. It would just have to fit aswell with a possible full-time job... But maybe places like Dumbarton are a good way to still boulder outdoors on the weekends (or other local grags)
@@rikjansen4224 Dumbarton, Northumberland , Ben Ledi, Glen Lednock are all relatively close to Edinburgh. It also has a few brilliant walls. Folk tend to drive NW/Inverness-shire for a weekend.
In my experience, weather in the Peak is not better than Scotland. Recent winters have been really disappointing (particularly at weekends) and the grit is not much fun in Summer. Those hallowed dry cold days are pretty elusive.

Hey Pete, where's that Raasay problem? I'm over next week!

@@peterherd8644 Thanks, keen to go for a look!
Brilliant video! Nice to see a bouldering video from Scotland for a change. Have you climbed many further south, in the Glasgow/Ayrshire area?

Hey Rik, maybe you've moved by now? Scotland has great bouldering. You have to be willing to travel for it though.
