Route Description:
This takes the obvious ridge at the end of the headland 'Toin Reamhar' between the' lake below the Lake', and the inlet containing 'Hole in the Clouds' (Bun a Maochall).  It is easily identified from anywhere on the coast due to the big knobble (The bear's head) high on it.   Abseil , and dog leg left, below the knobble, over an airy window, continuing down the stepped ridge to the sea.   Pick your route of ascent to just below the Bears Head.  A short pitch of severe up the left hand edge leads on top of the head, followed by a short descent, and scramble to the top.  Spectacular situations.
