Water Lilly – Classics of Wester Ross
Loch Tollaidh Crags, Wester Ross, is the best single pitch trad venue around Gairloch. The climbing is always technical and sustained. To get a real appreciation of the quality of the climbing here you need to be operating at HVS and up.
Hidden Crag has the longest routes and the rock is truly immaculate clean, rough Lewisian Gneiss. Water Lily, E2 5b, and Buena Vista, also E2 5b, are classics. It is very hard to decide which is the better of the two so it is best just to do both!
Paul Tattersall and Jim Buchanan are hard at work updating the Loch Tollaidh Crags topo for wildwesttopos.com with over sixty new routes to add since the original topo was published, it will be ready for this spring.
