Lee Shore

Location: Skelpoonagh Bay
Grade: HS
Length: 40m

First ascent: I Rea, M. Rea(4/91)

Route Description:

To find this, go to the base of the descent gully where a huge block leans against the crag. 3 metres left of this is an obvious blocky niche which you climb up by the left-hand side and over a bulge via the obvious crux. Follow a fault line up left to cross Bran Flakes and go into a vague depression (sounds fun!). Having got over this depression, you can finish straight up via a feint corner.

Tom Monaghan on Lee Shore (HS) - Just past the difficult 1st corner and gratefully onto the mantled shelf.

Oh and take twin ropes or you'll have horrendous drag after the move left into the depression. Happy days.

Brilliant route on dry rock in the sunshine. Gear was a bit thin for the crux but the rock was frictiony and holds solid so no real problems.
