Golden Hind * *

Location: Sea Stacks and Pinnacles
Grade: HS  4b
Length: 20m
First ascent: Alan Tees, Columba McLaughlin 15/08/10
Route Description:
This is one of the stacks in the Galleon "Fleet" at Kinnego, situated just West of the "Crows Nest". Gr 629470. It is separated from the shore by a narrow channel, and has a tilted yellow roof.  The Tees-McLaughlin crack faces West, and is not obvious from the shore.  At low tide, a short reasonably sheltered crossing leads to a slanting corner/ledge, with a better ledge higher on the left.  Climb the crack on good holds and gear, until an exposed move right leads onto the upper wall.  Follow thinner cracks rightwards to the roof.  What a cracker!
