Muintear na Meara

Location: Malin Head ,Skildren Mor.
Grade: E1 5b
Length: 30m

First ascent: P.Cooper & D. Millar 10/06/07

Route Description:

The prominent leftward facing corner, to the right of Phoenix. The climbing gets thinner and more sustained, with little for feet or hands on the slabby face; then you reach the crux. Belay on comfy ledge above, so you can clearly see your 2nd, 2nd then climbs above for approx 4 metres to final belay. There's a nice bouldery below the big ledge but is probably best left out; to assist belaying. I'd suggest a couple of stars for this one. Enjoy.

Led this there at the weekend, very nice route. Quite sustained but good gear, where needed. Confirm the grade at E1 5b, *-**!

And finally...this one was led on-sight, thank you.

Held Pete's ropes on this and thought the climbing was great with sustained, well protected climbing leading to a an interesting technical crux at top. Rock in the corner looked a bit chossy from below but once your on it, it was grand. Definetly worth a couple of stars.
