Dambusters *

Location: Lough Belshade (High Crags)
Grade: E2 5c
Length: 20m

First ascent: D Stelfox, P Mallon (2/9/89)

Route Description:

A spanking route up the obvious crack between Hombre and Toblerone. Make a bouldering start rightwards and then swing back left on a good jug to gain the deep layaway crack. Follow this more easily to gain the steep upper cracks and a small ramp on the left. Shuffle up this to its highest point, and then with awkward jamming, reach good holds on the left wall (crux). Follow the crack more easily to the top.

Climbed this about 5 years ago. Great route on great rock. Probably 2* stars as the climbing felt quite sustained and absorbing. Rock on!!
