A Shimmy Defeats the Quartz Blocks

Location: Doire Easa Cloiche Crag, Glen Lough
Grade: VS  5a
Length: 12m
First ascent: S Convery and P Mannus 14/05/25
Route Description:
Start below the bulge just to the left of the chasm, climb on good stances until half way up, step into the chasm and gain a stance just before the final bulge using small footholds, bridging and good handhold in the chasm.  Place a small wire in chasm up high where it narrows, find small toe hold for the right foot and make a bold and unedifying shimmy up and over the bulge to reach a crack hold directly above your head.  Drag yourself up to an easing finish.
