Centipede Slabs *

Location: Malin Head (Sea Area Malin)
Grade: VS 4c
Length: 30m

First ascent: Alan Tees & Pete Smith 16/04/05.

Route Description:

The next, and more recessed slab, a prominent left to right crack splits the slab. Climb this, and traverse a couple of metres right on vegetation around the lowest point of the upper slab, to gain wet crack. Move up this for a couple of moves (gear can be placed higher to protect slab) step left and climb slab on thin holds and protection to easier ground. Continue up left into corner, climb it and up slab to the top.

I led this Climb last year and secounded it on Saturday with Mike Hassan leading. It's a good VS, the crux is getting out of the corner to gain the broken slab above
