The Mermaid,

Location: Skelpoonagh Bay
Grade: HS  4a
Length: 25m
First ascent: Alan Tees, Valli Schafer 6/5/12
Route Description:
  Beyond the chimney the slabs taper into an arête as they tumble to the surf.  Descent is by abseil to a small ledge (not possible at high tide). Start up on the stepped arête, move right, and gain a big ledge.  From here a pristine diedre leads to an airy ramp, for which you will need small wires, and a delicate move to gain the pockled upper wall, and belay.  Nice!
