100m, 3 pitches.
A brilliant and varied route, and a masterpiece of route-finding, weaving out of the back of the Cúchulainn bay via aretes, slabs, grooves and corners to eventually finish as for Buttons and Bows.

βeta: This really needs a better topo / route description. We spent a while figuring out if we should just go into the corner on P1, then even longer trying to find the "traverse with pegs". Si led an arcing E5 5c pitch up to the pegs on P2, which probably can't be recommended unless you like onsight soloing 5c with a rope on. P3 is great! But the pitch description is a bit OTT for 15m of climbing. Maybe "climb groove, step right, pull through roof". P2: Only 1 peg left, and it's a bit creaky. (small cams and wires help) | βeta? | |
