Primrose Bay is about 1 mile from Cummingston on the moray coast. Location and access described on the other channel.

Plenty of projects still to go and controversially given names and grades, generally to spark a bit of interest. Open to one and all!





Problems:
Opposition Mantel - Font 6a - The finish to a pretty strenuous undercut roof.
Elbow Grease - Font 6a+ - Dirty corner climb
Philosophers Stone - Font 6a+ - Interesting slab climb
Lock n Pop - Font 6c+ - Lovely font-esque problem
Amateur Acrobatics - Font 7a+ - Obvious fingercrack through the roof

Projects which have been given a tickle:
Dolphin mantel - a jump start to a perfect sandstone nose and then a disgusting mantel that makes Graviton look easy
Stiff opposition - a good rail through a roof, with foot on a dirty back wall, crab walk horizontally
Cave entrance roof crack - Perma dry (so far) with burly moves between good holds

The rest of the projects on UKC have been eye-balled and nothing else.

That crack looks ace.

It also looks as if it would be very easy to find it in greasy conditions. Any beta for that?

The natural wind tunnel keeps it surprisingly dry, that said a high tide will crash in at it's base so best to time your visit for low tide and a breeze to have a better chance of mint conditions.

The rock on this line is pretty good but a lot of the tidal stuff can be quite sandy. The actual tunnel stuff is pristine.
