Aberdeen DWS

Originally from a list put together by Julian Lines

---

This list shows most of the DWS found on the Aberdeen sea-cliffs (to date). Craig Stirling and the Red Tower are the main venues in the North East as they have a good concentration of routes and are home to many classics. If that's not enough for you check put the main Deep water soloing page, or have a look through the North-East Outcrops section.

• Grades are British tech grades

• The Climber's Club have a good website for checking out the tides.

• For more information on the routes and DWS the SMC's North-East Outcrops and Rockfax's Deep Water are wortwhile buys.
