Location: Bingorm West (Lough Barra)
Grade: S 4a
Length: 115m
|
| First ascent: P Kenny, F Winder (Alt leads) (9/55) |
| Route Description: |
Start: As for Triversion. The description given below does not follow exactly the original line but makes
the best of the clean rock. Many variations are possible. Generally the route takes a fairly direct line up the clean sweep of slabs, to finish through
the short steep headwall as Triversion.
- 30m Climb the rib as Triversion but then move right across slabs to ledge below vegetated ledges.
- 25m Climb the narrow pocked ramp on the right of the slabs and immediately left of the vegetation. Move back right to a ledge level with top of vegetated ramp.
- Move 30m up right side of slab, then, at a spike, go right to niche.
Finish as for Triversion up the steep clean corner to the left of the overhang.

Must have done the wrong start the few times i did these routes. Must go back up and have a look.

How advantageous Pete, both your hobbies accommodated at once - well nearly. But sometimes it's all in the anticipation! |

I climbed it on New Year's Day with Frankie and Raymond Gallagher about ten years ago. When it came to leading my pitch, the misty rain had made everything soaking and I nearly soiled my britches. It felt like E2 that day! |
