📍 Crag Spotlight – Dumbarton Rock

Dumbarton Rock is now included in the Scottish Mountaineering Club's Lowland Outcrops package on Rockfax Digital.

Steeped in the history of hard climbing, “Dumby” offers a mix of trad, sport, and some of the most iconic bouldering in the country — all on a single volcanic outcrop above the Clyde.

The new coverage includes clear topos for the main faces and boulders, along with the classic test-pieces the crag is known for. The quick-drying rock makes it a dependable venue for shorter sessions, whether you’re local to the area or passing through on the way to the Highlands.
