50m.
A fine line taking the steep slabby wall right of the top pitch of Uisce Faoi Thalamh. 60m ab to the big mid-way ledge visible from the top. Lots of small gear.
Start from the righthand end of the huge ledge and climb to where the wall steepens. Climb the bulge (crux) using the two thin cracks and a flat hold high on the left, with a few more hard moves leading to jugs. Continue more easily to the bottom of the groove where small gear can be arranged on the left. Launch out right on a small flat handhold to gain a flake crack up and around to the right. Gain the top of the flake and the upper slab. Climb this moving up and right to the big ledge and then on up to the headwall – delicate, small gear. Move left to finish up the easy cracks to the right of the big corner of Uisce Faoi Thalamh.
