Hi Pete, We've been climbing down at some of the crags for years but never bothered logging them. The rock is awful on the right face at Boyeeghter and not worth touching.We only came across Rosses point at the start of the year.

Kevin/Patrick Were these routes discovered after me banging on about the crags around Boyeeghter Strand? Have you done that big one on the right of the beach yet?

Thanks. Well done on the stacks, they look like super wee adventures. Pete, I'll let you decide on the 5b or c.

Pete - 26/07/2011
Ha. The system forces you to choose! Is it 5b or 5c?

Kev, Added the amendments you mentioned, but can't add the 5b/c grade, only one or the other. :-(

Not sure on the grade for this, it could be 5c. We placed a mat on the rock outcrop below the crux sloper.
