A climbing guide to the Ballater crags, long considered to be the best local wet weather alternative to climbing in the Cairngorms.
Covers:
Creagan t Seabhaig (the Pass of Ballater): south-facing outcrop in an idyllic woodland setting with short tough routes and some bouldering.
Bellamore Craig (Creag Corn Arn): newly developed east-facing granite escarpment of up to 10 metres in height with around 60 climbs.
Vat Burn: another relatively newly developed crag hidden in trees in a gorge on the east flank of Morven (872m).
Crag X:
Cambus o' May Quarry: sport routes from F4+ up to F7c+.
The guide has been written from scratch and contains over 50 coloured topo diagrams.
