The Cruit Itch * *

Location: Cruit Island - Traderg Wall Area
Grade: E2 5c
Length: 12m

First ascent: SÃƒÂle Daly and David Craig 23/06/09

Route Description:

On Tradarg wall right hand side. Start at an obvious bulging crack to the left of Strangeboat. Climb the crack to an overlap. Mantle a jug above and make a long reach up right to a hidden finger jug. Move up to a horizontal break and finish via a flake crack on the right. A real gem of a route not to be missed.

This is a great climb. Second it after K.McGee and found it hair rising.Steep crack to start, then a small traverse with a mantle to a wonderful invisible hold.Then Kevin did a direct finish up the blank steep slab to the top. Deserves a couple of stars for sure.
