Directions: The South facing walls on the northern-end of Traderg Bay (GR 732212), which is found behind and below the 'Donegal Thatched Cottage' development on Cruit's Western end; before the golf course. Viewed from the beach, the most obvious features are a narrow chimney,('Chimney Sweep') with a bulbous wedge shaped cliff on it's left. accessed by a rightward trending descent gully with a small stream in it, further again to the left. Best accessed at low tide! Beyond this "Bulge" are further areas of rock, which were extensively developed during 2008: full details of those routes are contained here.

Scalpachore Crag. The southfacing wall of Scalpachore catches the sun early, provides many short climbs and is a pleasant place to climb in the mornings. At low to half tide it is possible to access the climbs on the R-hand (inland) side by scrambling in, otherwise abseil in. Climbs are 8 to 12m in length. Low to mid-tide only.The first 3 climbs can be accessed by abseiling down a shallow corner to a small ledge directly opposite a small rock islet. |

Inland Crag. Just south of Morning Wall, at the back of a cove and facing out to sea.A place to climb when high tides are running. It suffers a little from seepage, but benefits from the sun. Climbs are 10 to 14m long. |

Poll na Caoineadh. Right side. At low to mid-tide approach down Stream Gully ( this gully separates Poll na Caoineadh from Traderg Wall, and there are no prizes for guessing this is the gully with the small stream running down it!) After a tricky start, scramble back N, along good ledges. At mid-to-full tide this area can be accessed by abseiling down the centre of the wall at, or near, the line of Home is the Sailor. A rocky reef, running parallel to this section, protects the base of the wall during high seas. |

Traderg Wall. This is the south facing wall at the northern end of Traderg Bay (GR 732212), below and to the L of the thatched cottage development. Viewed from the boulder beach below the cottages, the most obvious features are a narrow chimney (Chimney Sweep HS 4b) with a bulbous wedge-shaped cliff on its L .Bounded on the L by Stream Gully and on the R by a boulder beach accessed from the thatched cottages. The L-hand side, from Stream Gully as far R as the L edge of the bulbous, wedge-shaped cliff, can be accessed at most tides from the gully. The R-hand side, from the boulder beach to the wedge-shaped cliff can be approached from the beach at low to mid tide. |

72 - Kahlua's Scratch
Length: 15m P. Swail, E. Harvey 18/04/15 Take a hanging belay 4m right of Chimney Sweep and below the steep
juggy wall. The route starts by traversing in from the right until
above the belayer at 3m height. From here attack the wall direct via
positive, steep and well protected climbing. The last few meters
entertain the crux where a few puzzling moves up and slightly right
gain the top slab View Route Edit Route Upload a new photo for this route |
