Right of Tir na nOg there is a large cave. The route takes the next crack right of the cave. Climb strenuously up the crack and gain a ledge at 10m by a difficult move (one arm rest). Continue by pinching a flake and then poor jams to gain a small niche and rest (thread runner). Climb steeply on rounded holds to top.

Get on it...gear enough to keep you happy. Similiar to the French route in the Mournes, but just a tad harder.

Excellent route!...it's steeper than you think and placing the gear will get you pumped. The moves up to and including the crux are technical but the holds are quite positive, at least until the last few metres. Two stars at least for this.
