The peculiarly named Kamikaze Squirrel crag may be found within the Scottish Wildlife Trust’s reserve at Fankerton. To read an article about these climbs, click here.
The history of recorded climbing at the crag started with a short, poor route named Wee Chimney; a 4 metre 4b solo for Allan Wallace in 95. He returned in May 2003 with brother Raymond to put up a collection of 5 routes from Severe 4b to E1 5c. The first three routes in the book in the middle of the crag look excellent. The obvious and sinuous Carron Crack E1 5c looks superb and appears to be the classic of the crag.
Start right of the block at the left end of the crag on low slab. Move rightwards up left side of semi-detached pinnacle and continue up obvious right slanting crack to a hilarious finish over the cornice of vegetation using the tree on the left.
