A beautifully fun grade two scramble and one of Scotland's finest. Whilst there is some degree of exposure throughout the entire route, most sections can be easily bypassed by descending lower on either side of the ridge.

The crux is a steep cliff with a lot of exposure on either side. If you've got a head for heights you can downclimb the face or abseil using a handy spike of rock at the top (a 30-metre rope is just long enough), but this can easily be bypassed through either of the gullies just before it.
