Directions:	The huge sea stack just off (Sea Area crag) Malin Head. Descend as for Sea Area Malin, and cross the zawn whatever way you can. The removal of access from the mainland opposite, has made climbing there even more problematic. Best plan is to either kayak in from as close as possible, or take a dinghy down to the end of the Prockagh promontary, and paddle over. Very calm seas required. The easiest ascent is right, up easy shattered rock to a grassy ledge, and traverse left over a quartzite ledge and slab to steep grass and rock leading to the top. The North Wall gives superb climbing on sound, black rock, whilst the North Eastern side is higher, more committing, but with more dubious quality rock. This is a fragile environment, with birds nesting from <strong>April until the end of July</strong>, therefore if visits cannot be avoided they require a high degree of sensitivity to the needs of nesting birds.
