IRA

Location: Bingorm West (Lough Barra)
Grade: VS -
Length: 10m

First ascent: P O'Halpin, N Kavanagh (10/6/62)

Route Description:

The steep left wall of the Square Cut Gully contains some fine rock but rarely sees the sun and is thus usually greasy and uninviting. Two routes are recorded which may be worthwhile after a dry spell. IRA, About a third of the way up the gully wall are two shallow corners formed by thick pillars. This route takes the lower of these. Move up pillar and swing left at overhang. Up to niche, step left and up onto block.

Dave, there are many nice-looking climbs in Donegal but was it nice to climb? Otherwise this comment doesn't add a whole lot. Perhaps we could start a new starring system based on whether a climb would look good in a bikini (or mankini)?
