45m.
A scrappy start gains the absorbing slab below Pigeon’s Cove, don’t be put off by the bones at the bottom! Left of the obvious vegetated offwidth is a short, blunt arête with a round boulder at the bottom. Climb the arête boldly to reach easier ground, then climb direct to the top of the obvious pillar. From here weave your way up to a system of layback flakes (tiny cams). Follow these until they run out, then make a difficult move to a good hold on the right and good undercuts above. Continue straight up to reach a flake on the left (poor RPs), then back right where a heart-stopping move gains good holds between the two blocks. Follow the blocks carefully to an in-situ lower off, or bash your way through choss and spiky bushes (twice the fun) to finish up Tír na nÓg.
