Directions: The next area described is the broken ground on the far side of the Twin Caves cove. There are a few short routes here, along ledges which face south. From the top at the eastern end, it is possible to scramble easily to a ledge system at mid-height. This can be followed (westwards) almost to its end (where the cliffs turn to face Tornamullane and become "Island Wall"). Just before this, there is a large square corner, which faces southwest.

56 - Bellydancer
No length recorded T. O'Neill, G.Moss 30/4/00 Start at the Western end of the ledge system mentioned in the introduction to Owey Wall. Climb onto a block and step down to a stance below the right-hand end of the slab lying beneath the large overhang. Make a difficult move up onto the lip of the slab using a vertical crack and traverse left to a foothold. Move out left from beneath the overhang (crux) and climb the edge to a belay. A climb requiring steadiness in both leader and second. View Route Edit Route Upload a new photo for this route | |||

No length recorded F.Power, B.Rowe 30/4/00 Start 3m left of Balor. Climb easily over blocks to the base of a crack sloping up left across the steep wall. Strenuous moves up the crack to a ledge and finish as for Giant Steps.(Note: The vertical crack between Pow-row and Balor has repulsed several parties and is, as far as I'm aware, still unclimbed.)
