Climbed this in 2008. The climbing was about E1 5b, ** for the climbing, but overall *** for the situation. Take tat with you for abseil block at the top, tat probably in bad shape now.

It's still there, was a couple of weeks ago anyway

Wow and there was me making jokes about getting three of us up onto it, to see if it would topple! By the way Blade was the name of the climb, until now we didn't know the stack's local name; not that it sounds very gaelic - considering the area.

The "Egg Stand" as its known to people from Owey has now falling into the sea

No way - that's nuts, was there a bad storm or did gravity just get the better of it?

Pete - 01/10/2009
Really? Any pictures?
