Diabaig
From SCWiki
Awesome slab of gneiss giving superb climbing, mainly in the HVS to E4 range.
Directions & Approach
NG 810 595 (Landranger map 24), See Streetmap
From the A896 Garve to Achnasheen. Follow signs for Kinlochewe. Turn left at Kinlochewe heading for Sheildaig. Turn right through Torridon village and follow the long and windy road for about six miles and park in Lower Diabaig. The crag is not obvious from here, although the classic Diabaig Pillar is. On approach to the pillar, there is a path which rises on its left hand side. Take this and follow it until a fairly level traverse curves leftwards underneath the main slab.
