Arch Stack

Location: Sea Stacks and Pinnacles
Grade: S 4a
Length: 25m

First ascent: Iain Miller 09/06/11

Route Description:

Grid Ref B708075 1 KM to the south of Maghery Village, this outstanding wee Arch stack provides an excellent day out.

Climb the sea ward face by the overhung right facing groove and follow the shallow corner up the centre of the slab to a wee niche below a head wrecking steepness. Step right above BIG AIR and climb the steep right facing corner to the salvation of the summit.

If you are alone at this point your mind will be in tatters! :-)

Arch Stack, Crohy Head.

Looks class, figured you be back out as soon as the wind died down ;) How high are the 3 smaller stacks to the front of this?

This was an outstanding "3*" day out! Currently toying with helmet cam footage as the forces of Gaia and Neptune paved the way to the inner self! :-)
