Awesome, first of several projects to go on that face this summer I imagine.

Long shot but anyone know if the line that Sean Villaneuva climbed there last year was ever named or graded?

Fairly play Ricky, cranking hard as always.

This is the only thing I really saw about it, from a thread on climbing.ie about Ireland's best E7's http://www.climbing.ie/smf/index.php?topic=1398.msg5482#msg5482

Ricky's comment on it was "Unnamed as yet E6/7 Seans new route on the east face of lower cove, flashed it with a lot of beta, didnt really deserve to get up it but did, just! The climbing is really good, slopers bouldery, run out, scary and hollow! I think E7 for sure."
