Infinity and Below! *

Location: Malin Head (The cauldron)
Grade: VS 4b
Length: 20m

First ascent: Marty McGuigan, Alan Tees, 18/08/12

Route Description:

Descend into the Sheugh as for 'Infinity and Beyond' (ab or downclimb at about diff level at the back). At the bottom of the step there is a left trending groove/crack line. Climb it until you can exit right and gain some flakes, and welcome protection. Strenuous steep climbing on great flakes leads to easier, less protected, but still good quality rock above. This was originally thought to be a first ascent, but is actually the second ascent of 'Infinity and Beyond'' but done from the bottom of the sheugh.

Stars should be allocated to Infinity and Beyond, not this one, suggest **

Think this might be good for a second star, but see if anyone agrees!
