Journey into the Unknown **

Location: Owey Island (West)
Grade: E5  6b
Length: 33m
First ascent: P. Swail, R. Smith 16/06/14
Route Description:
 

Abseil in 15m East of the top groove/ chimney of Wild Atlantic Way. Abseil over a series of overlaps until a ledge is reached – from here re-belay and make a diagonal abseil (left when looking in) to the starting ledge. The abseil is very committing and requires some gear to be put in just to stay in contact with the cliff.

Pitch 1 (6b) 15m - From the ledge climb the steep wall horizontally right for 6m until below a corner. Make strenuous and bold moves up to below the corner where a rest is had. From here arrange protection and fire up the corner (crux) to reach the belay.

Pitch 2 (5a) 18m – Follow the crack above that runs diagonally to the left to reach a large ledge. Climb the short steep corner to the top.
