Colmcille Climbers

l aid point
Between the two gullies on the right-hand side of the buttress there are two slabs. This route starts just above the point where the two gullies join, starting with a short chockstone pitch in the left-hand gully.

1. 40m Up the gully past the chockstone, until an awkward step right can be made to the foot of the first slab. Climb groove in corner of slab to belay on grass.
2. 21 m Continue up the corner onto a small slab. Move right up the mossy slab and then back into the corner beneath the overhangs. Move right and up slab again (1 aid point) and continue to corner to good ledge beneath second slab. An alternative to Pitches 1 and 2 is to take the slab lying parallel to and above the first slab.
3. 24m Start about 1 m right of the corner and ascend the slab to a short slimey crack. This can be climbed or turned on the slab. Continue up corner crack to reach vegetation. Move over shoulder on the right into recess beneath upper capstone on right-hand gully.
4. 12m Climb round chockstone by slab on left and continue to a suitable belay.
5. Above this point a leftward line in the gully is taken, giving a further 60m of scrambling with some short sections of V. Diff.
