Description

These are the overlapping slabs in the center of the cliffline. There is a terrace at about half-height which allows for escape and descent via Central Gully Buttress.

Getting There

Approach up to Creag An Dubh-Loch. From the head of the Loch, cross the stream and pick your way along through the heather on the most obvious trampled path. There isn't really any one distinct approach trail but more or less some paths that have been used semi-frequently. Keep working your way up and left and you'll eventually come out to a nice grassy area at the base of the cliffs. Takes about 20 min from the shoreline.
