Sorry too many typos (it is Paddys day :-)Had a look at Torrins and Stelfoxs Rock Climbing in Ireland Guide of Ireland 1984 and that gives a lenght of 8m - It seems that rockclimbs were not immune to the unstatainable growth of the Celtic Tiger but now that the IMF have come in I think the climb will settle down to a more realistic level;-> |

Grade seems settled then. How many e-mails to settle the lentgh? |

That's a Donegal tradition Hugh. Measure routes the same way you measure salmon... and then add a bit. |

HS 4b alright but who measured some of these climbs - this is hardly 10m in height. |

You're the man Chris. If you say HS 4b then I'll go along with that. |

HS 4b bang on for this route |

Used to be VS 4b. About right at that, but some people who are good at bridging find it easy. |

Well here's the Malin Beg route that I reckoned was a sandbag. I couldn't get anyone to back me up though. Great route - just a tad harder than the grade suggests. |
