Crag features

This is a small rough gabbro crag on the East side of Slievenaglogh in the Cooley peninsula, just across Carlingford Lough from the Mournes.

The Upper Tier is split into two buttresses, divided by a grass ramp. The Lower Tier is split in the same way with the left hand buttress considerably smaller than the right hand one. It is very solid.

Upper Tier right hand side and some lower tier routes cleaned July 2022

Approach notes

Head to the crossroads in Omeath and drive uphill for a few kilometres to a T-junction. Turn left and go through the Windy Gap, past the Long Woman's Grave, and take the left fork of the next Y-junction. Drive for about 5km to another road on the left and follow this, up the hill and down the other side for 2km. 

Suggested  parking as photo (limited - car share if possible). Couple more spaces 200m east.

The crag is 20 mins walk up through the ferns. go through the gate just behing you and after a few meters turn left and up to the apex of a grassy strip where you should fing a path through the ferns.

From Dundalk take the main road to Carlingford, but take the left hand turn just after Lordship, then go up the mountains to Omeath and take the second turn on the right to reach the same spot.

Can you provide the coordinates / google maps link for the car park for this crag?
