143 - Choss Lynam
No length recorded P. Owens, J. O'Reilly. 29 March 97 Climbs the obvious groove/crack line just left of Gearrcach. Start from a ledge at the foot of the crack. Climb straight to the top, the name of the route derives from the last 4m, which are loose, crumbly and dangerous so be careful. View Route Edit Route Upload a new photo for this route | |||
