Wild Atlantic Way***

Location: Owey Island (West)
Grade: E6  6b
Length: 45m
First ascent: P. Swail, K. McCoey 17/06/14
Route Description:
 E6 6b,5c 

Abseil in 4m North of the finishing groove of Wild Atlantic Way down to a ledge 5m above the high tide line (visible from the top of Darcy’s mist). You must keep you swing so you can reach the ledge (if not you will be stuck in space). The route starts of the left side of the ledge.

Pitch 1 (6b) 20m – From the left edge of the ledge make some easy moves up to reach a layback crack. Climb this strenuously until it ends just below a small roof. Bridge wildly up the holdless groove to get established in the overhanging chimney above to a well deserved rest. Climb the delightful chimney and take a belay at the top of it.

Pitch 2 (5c) 25m – Climb horizontally right from the belay and under a massive flake for 8m. Continue more direct up a left facing corner. Jam up the corner with difficulty until the top groove is reached. Watch for rope drag!
