Route Description:
Towards the LHS of the big slab of Heather Rogan is a deep leftward trending crack. Gain this at about 4m and traverse left and up to the edge of the slab.

Will note. Be good if you can provide me with a line on a photo, for topo. Good going, lads.

Nice climbing by David, nice variation and abit harder than the original start.

David Murray - 04/06/2012

Finally got on this one, Alan Tees led, lovely line. Rather than follow the diedre, there are holds and gear on the right; at the same grade.

Apologies to Andy and Ian, didn't check on-line guide when I submitted a report to the on-line logbook, they're efforts have raised the total number of climbs to 20.

Cleaned & top roped by Alan Tees & Kieran Doherty on a wet night in 1997?just prior to Kieran's departure to South Africa(thus Springbok). There may have been a led ascent by Belfast climbers in between. A good route.
