The Viper Pit * |
Location: Winter Routes. Muckish Grade: IV Length: 120m |
First ascent: K Mc Gee, P Tinney. (27/02/10) |
Route Description: |
To the right of the massive overhang is a small gully. Climb up this on steepening ice to the top. This point can also be gained by numerous variations to the right of the gully. Traverse left along a ledge above the overhang until you reach a small snow slope leading to a corner. Climb this and continue up to the final rock band. Climb up past a large flake, place some gear, hook a chock stone and hope the turf is frozen for the exit on the right. Climb the long snow slope and any rock you can find on the way to the top. |
![]() Viper Pit - Looked at this a number of times over the years, but it was never thick enough. Could it have been done direct up a steep V corner? Well Done, Alan. |
