Some great boulders in a superb setting and worth the half hour walk-in. The main attraction is a pair of massive boulders with big and overhanging faces, the Bothy and Panorama Stone. There are also some smaller blocks with worthwhile problems in the easier grades, giving a decent grade range all round. Guidebook page 80.
