Route Description:

Grid Ref B636147. The Iconic Sea Stack known locally as "Stackiniller," Sits in a truly outstanding location in a monster amphitheatre nautical sculptured madness at the South West tip of Aranmore Island.

Access to sea level is by "Gully of the Gods" and is the only sane access to the foot of this cauldron.

The stack is climbed by a well defined seaward facing corner on the sea ward ridge to a large airy stance. Continue up the wall above on broken egg shells to gain a huge left trending offwidth. Ascend the overhanging offwidth by guile to a mind blowing summit.

An ascent of this stack will live forever in your "what the fuck was I doing" memory.

Stackiniller, Aranmore Island. - Climbers about to ab off summit of Stackiniller.

How's the rock on the land? That's a fine looking crack at the left hand side of this photo.
