While it would be ideal to add specific maps to specific areas that charactristics of the Highlands makes that an impossible
task. Climbs in the Highlands w/ 1 or 2 exceptions should be considered cragging. Crag climbing is what you make of
it. Often long, stiff approaches for easy to moderate climbs on cliffs less then 50 feet high. However climbing
gems (***) do exisit. Check for access regulations at all sites in the Highlands.
