Mittellegi Blues * * *

Location: Warm Bay Point
Grade: VD 4a
Length: 50m

First ascent: Alan Tees, Martin Mcguigan, alt leads 13/06/09

Route Description:

A "traditional" VDiff route with an Alpine feel to it, and very varied climbing in good situations. Scramble up right of the "Tombstone" into a bay at the right hand side of the wall containing "I was belayed by a Cyclops" etc. Climb the crack leading to the ridge above and continue left, up the exposed ridge to belay at the top. Climb the Gendarme behind, and finish up the wall either behind the gendarme, or further left, just left of a short chimney ans belay at a big leaning rock. Great route to practice multipitching said Marty!

Did this again with Finbarr. Start a bit brambly ( as always) but a large chunk has fallen off the ridge. The new \'step\' looked a bit dodgy, but was passable with care. Still worth a shot.

Bit loose but great fun
