Route Description:

Grid Reference G543897. Running along the South Face of the mighty Toralaydan Island, Approx. 1KM to the North of the An Port road end, sits a chain of three sea stacks. At the sea ward end of the trio (furthest from the main land) sits a twin headed Basalt Spire. This route climbs the smaller dome summit.

Climb the immaculate basalt slab up the seaward face, from sea to summit on the most perfect rock Neptune ever sculpted.

Extreme nautical caution is required for the approach to/from this beast!

Being sandwiched between "The Baltic Spire" and the 80m seaward face of Toralaydon Island means that the full fury of the SW prevailing motion is funneled up and around this immaculate slab. It is a very, very scary and dangerous place to be! If Carlsberg made V. Diff rock climbs then this would be it. :-)
