Keep the info coming. Incidently, this route is the bigger, harder (?)sister-route to this team's 'Flying Enterprise'; another Malinbeg 3 star route.

Very good route, climbing nice and technical, gear thin in places but adequate. Would give it 2 stars.

Technical, and sustained climbing all the way. Worthy of the 3 stars, but the gear is a bit sparse.
