Did this on top belay with A.Tees on a cracking Donegal morning. Great short route that requires strong upper body movement and confidence in small footholds. Once the first 2/3 moves are made it becomes a more tranquil crack climb to the top. For variation, when you get to the obvious quartz horizontal line, traverse right to join the adjoining crack. I think it worth consideration of a star. Appropriate grading.
