Niall Tries Barbara's Baby - Climbfest 2006. Niall tries his hand with Barbara's Baby at Dunmore Head Culdaff. This route gets few repeats and I'm sorry to say that it spat Niall out like a bit of chewed gum. Severe?? In your dreams! And it used to be V. Diff, didn't it?

Yes agree, without big Camalots 4, 5 & 6 this is scary |

I know why off widths are all graded Severe! They should have their own separate grade which should include at least one expletive! |

possible new route? right of barbaras baby, left of cheatin bitch. follow arete to overhang. using crack, gain ledge as far as my memory recalls. tricky finish around top arete. I just remembered it wasn`t in the guide book, thought i`d see if anyone new anything about it. grade, maybe VS 5a/5b. |

Though I'd nip up this "SVR" as a nice wee finish to the day.It's not a path I used Camalots 4, 5 & 6, for gear a bit of a thrutchfest, the grade, E1 5a! The E for effort :-) |

I thought I was doing ok until my toe brushed the cam and it fell out! I'm going to lose some weight for the next climbfest so I can wedge in further. And I'm bringing a car jack for pro ;-) |
