Dow Crag

The next impressive peak lies out to the west. This is called Dow Crag and has the most impressive cliffs in the whole area a shear drop of 150m. A steep scree gully can be ascended easily passing to the south of the impressive main crags, ending suddenly on the rocky ridge. It is perhaps the finest peak to climb and is well worth visiting. The Club doesn't normally use the route up the scree gully due to the loose nature of the slope that could pose a hazard to large groups. But if you have the opportunity it's well worth going up. You need to be sure footed and be able to tolerate a steep drop behind you if you do go up this way.
