Cameron Stone & Heather Hat

Scotland, GB

Cameron Stone is the most popular of the blocs in the glen, with a twin-faceted nature: steep on the west side and undercut all the way to the east wall. The problems have powerful sit-starts and the face climbing is crimpy and requires finger-strength,core tension and dynamic accuracy. Generally good landings.This roofed stone lies just north of the road under the Polldubh crags and is the first big bloc seen on crossing the bridge. Park considerately in a gravel lay-by and walk up to it in a minute or so. Take a tarpaulin and mats, as the ground, though grassy and flat, can be boggy. There are good smaller boulders for warming up to left and right of the bloc. The Heather Hat The big square-roofed boulder 150m east of the Cameron Stone under the main crags. Its heather bonnet gives its away. Associated other small blocs around it give good warm-ups under Dundee Buttress (‘The Mohican’; ‘Crew Cut’).
