Drake's Flakes

Location: Dungloon (Kinnego)
Grade: VS  4b
Length: 45m
First ascent: Alan Tees, Peter Cooper 30/03/08
Route Description:
About 20m beyond (West) of Austins Window, is a high buttress of rock. This route starts just right of a wide crack, and climbs unprotected to the base of a left facing corner. Alternatively, a fine crack further right and a leftward traverse will lead to the same place! Layback up the corner most of the way to the top, and step out right to a small stance, and climb up onto the arete. Continue up airily to a ledge below a bulging wall, belay. Pitch 2 Climb the wall left of the obvious crack (crux) and continue up more easily to finish up the finely situated "Drakes Flakes", at the top.
