Traonach,

Location: Owey Island (West)
Grade: HS 4b
Length: 30m

First ascent: Ivan Krella, Martin Bonar, 22/06/14.

Route Description:

Traonach,** 30m HS4b. Start awkwardly mid way between Sisters Slab and Kite Runner to gain slanting ledge and short wet corner. Climb corner and cracked slab on the left to a ledge. Climb directly to a higher ledge, and up steep crack on jugs to the top. Ivan Krella, Martin Bonar, 22/06/14. An easier variation is to avoid the first section by traversing in along a ledge from the right, which was the original route and about Severe in grade.

Alan, you are right, it`s underestimated, definitely harder than 4b.The rest of the route is easy though.

Marty led this, and I seconded with Geoff. The direct start seemed more like 4c to me.
