Phoenix

Location: Malin Head ,Skildren Mor.

First ascent: Martin McGuigan, Alan Tees, 7/06/07

Route Description:

Right of "Dancing on Blades" is a damp corner, and right of this again is a prominent chimney/corner (with a leftward trending overlapping corner on its left). Climb the chimney using the corner and its right edge. At the top, a thin step left leads to a line of small holds to the top. Brilliant!

Phoenix, HVS.

I would confirm this line is worthy of a couple of stars, not just a good line for the crag but a good line throughout the whole of Donegal. I feel route-envy coming on! Don't be put off by the initial look, this can't be judged by its' cover. Book early to avoid disappointment.

Confirm the grade at HVS 5a. Quality line and great varied and sustained climbing. Nice one Marty, deserves a couple of stars.
