VS 4bLength: 50m A Tees, B Johnston (7/4/96) At the bottom of the main face is a short wall split by two cracks leading to a large grassy ledge. Climb the cracks and continue up on good jugs, following the line of weakness until you meet a grassy terrace coming up from the right - belay. Easier climbing on cracks and flakes to the top.

HVS 5aLength: 25m A. Millar J. Frazer 3/5/Ol On the bottom left of Easter crag is the best looking rock on the crag and an obvious feature, an eye shape formed by a groove that curves over leftwards to become an overhang at five metres. Climb to the top of the groove left of, and under 'Carrickfinn Candidate' and step right over overhang to difficult stance then back to left to good "eyebrow" foothold on lip of the overhang. Move up find slab via good breaks to stance below a short left trending corner/crack. Climb this awkwardly to ledge then move right up short corner to finish. A fine climb!

06 - Mandolins
Length: 25m A Tees, V Russell (5/5/96) The right hand side of the main face is bounded by a grassy heather terrace, part way up this is a cracked wall which narrows almost into an arete towards the top. Start on spikes in its centre and continue up to the overhang, move right (crux) and up onto the edge. An
awkward move left onto small footholds brings you to the base of the neck. Steep exposed climbing to the top.

S 4aLength: 50m Alan Tees, Valli Schafer 22/08/11 Just right of "Carrickfin Candidate" there are cleaned cracks. Pitch 1,(25m) access the crackline by a short leftward trending ramp, and continue up the cracks, big jugs above, and finally a short slab to access a big ledge on the right, belay. Pitch 2 (25m), continue up into the corner on the right, climb onto a ledge or two, before steep rock above is overcome on a feast of spikes. Continue up on rock to belay. Should be a fine route of it's grade once weathered. View Route Edit Route Upload a new photo for this route | |||
