Stone Valley 1st June
I had not climbed at Stone Valley before so I was very impressed by the number of crags, never mind the variety of routes!
Ron and I headed for the quality routes on Stone Valley Crag and climbed Open Secret, Bald Eagle, Touch and Go, Cheesegrater Slab and Inside Information.
It does seem to me that in the topos available locally, the routes are graded lower than in the new Scottish Rock Climbs guide but the descriptions in the guidebook seem a wee bit different to those in the local topos!

Also heaps of beautiful orchids all around
