There hasn't been any problems. Just close the gates after you enter and leave. Park tight into the side as farmers use the road also. The road is rough and steep but is wide.I have giving directions for the best access via Kerrykeel at the top of the Croc an Affrin page.If you have any other questions you can ask them in the forum.

BAsed in Letterkenny and this looks a good base for a bit of evening climbing. Are there any access problems with the windfarm

A great way to spend the evening. Few nice moments on this route, shud have used more gear but run it out a little due to tiredness.

Sounds like a good line and a nice find.

A nice climb, the groove has some really nice sustained climbing and the top wall is nice aswell. I would give it 2 stars aswell.

This is a great route, good protection where you need it and just enough holds when you find them. Definitely 2 stars or even 3.
