Location: Barnesmore Gap - McDaid's Buttress
Grade: E1 5b
Length: 10m

First ascent: D.Millar & P.Cooper June 2003

Route Description:

This takes the series of broken cracks on the highest(left hand) end of the SW wall as you are looking at it. Climb steep finger crack using good finger locks and a curving crack on the right to a good jug. Continue steeply up the obvious cracks on awesome jugs and flakes to a good rest at a jammed block. Continue rightwards and upwards in a fantastic position on great holds to top. Belay well back.

Was up at the weekend there and Al lead this route, felt it to be more like E1 5b, sustained though protection is good. The jammed block that was mentioned on the first ascent has now been removed.
