Cordite Cracks |
| Location: Owey Island, Torglass Offshore Area Grade: HS 4a Length: 20m |
| First ascent: Alan Tees, Valli Schaffer, Bill Magowan, 11/08/12 |
| Route Description: |
| The South face of Torglass is made up of clean granite slabs of Gola quality, and varying steepness, the most obvious feature, when viewed from the land (Owey that is) is the prominent corner taken by ‘Gun Runner’. Access is via the narrow channel, using inflatable or non inflatable floating devices. Approach on the first ascents were by sea kayak, and inflatable dinghy. A couple of metres east of the big corner taken by ‘Gun Runner’ there is a crack in the slab which disappears at about 5 metres, to be replaces by a thin one. After a couple of thin unprotected moves, the climbing is easier to reach, and overcome, a short steep layback crack at the top. |
