Led this on Sat and it's a seriously pumpy route. I think the trick on the traverse is to stay low until just under the big flake and then move up. Keep medium size friends handy for just after the traverse. |

Did this again the other day and I would say that this route is a solid E1 5b without a shadow of a doubt. I was pumped out of my brains at the top! Great wee route! |

Great route!! Made the mistake of traversing higher up (into the base of the small roof)... Made it about E1... Might deserve that grade anyways? Spot on, protection wise. |

Three stars.
Sustained,pumpy and satisfying climbing in a beautiful setting. The best HVS in Inishowen? Hard for the grade but well protected. |
