1:1.618

Location: Muckross Head
Grade: E5  6a
Length: 20m
First ascent: P.& R. Dunlop 26/05/01
Route Description:
This route traverses out right along the obvious break on the lip of the big cave to the right of "Operation Mindcrime" and "Flesh" and continues up the overhanging headwall. Start left hand side of the cave, and climb the obvious corner/groove to a good rest on a big ledge. Traverse out right to place a 2 or 2.5 friend and climb across the lip until the break runs out, place some big friends and rest here. Pull up on positive holds to stand in the break, traverse out right a few metres to the obvious crack in the wall. From here, make a longish move up the overhanging wall towards a jutting block, and then break left to the obvious crack in the head wall. Pull your way up through this on good positive holds to the top.

This was done with 1 rest point during the first ascent which needs removing
