Photo of crag from the photo gallery
Easter Wall, Gola - Gola Island, North West side of Mweelmore, opposite Torglass. 15-20 min dander from the campsite. Well away from high seas with a good selection of routes from VDiff-E2. A nice alternative to the inland crag and some very obvious lines, scary high balls and good surrounding bouldering left for the next visitor.

8 - The Talpiot Tomb
E1 5b
Length: 12m
J. Boyle, M. McAllister, 13th July 2012
Start in left corner of recess and move rightwards under roof to gain poor foothold on right of slab. From here, attack roof directly to gain thin flake above (and reasonable wire) before a high reach towards jug and easier ground.

10 - Jungle Scream
VS 4c
Length: 10m
K.Kilroy, Benoit (10/7/2011)
Climbs the vertical crack just right of The Passion.  Start as for the passion and use twin cracks, or if you must, only the right crack to gain the first horizontal brake. Venture on up the right crack directly to the top.

Cool obvious line up the middle of the wall, crimpy start up to the first break, reach up to the scooped edge and follow the flake up to an awkward final bulge.
