Shark Bait *

Location: Malin Head (Sea Area Malin)
Grade: E2  5c
Length: 10m
First ascent: P.Cooper & B.Wingham 11/06/06
Route Description:

2.5M left of 'Crease Climb' is a faint line which goes up through a broken-face, strenous but eases in final 3rd.

It takes gear but hanging on thin edges to place it proves tough. I took 2 falls low down (re-starting each time) before it finally went. Possibly the final route of The Slabby Face?

Fair enough. Wont file the line I soloed as a route cos its not, being only 7m long, its a boulder problem. Cheers

As I always say "comments welcome". Chris McDaid on-sight soloed a line during the Climbfest and advised me of the HVS grade. This line was a start left of the existing start to 'Crease'(VS 4c). The lines on the photo-topo, for 'Shark Bait' and 'Crease'are incorrect, alas, so apologies there; something for a future topo to correct.

Afraid this route is HVS 4C.

find the sharp edges plant feet and stand up hold on.The finish is unprotected by the starting moves are the crux. Nice short route n1.
