Good stuff Iain, nice to see you on Supertopo. Must try and make it over to you for some sort of presumably horrendous watery chossy adventure if the weather ever improves.
Cheers,
Jane

Full value!
But how do you say "Cnoc na mara" in a human language?

Awesome. I've always been enamoured of climbing by the sea. The water looked so placid though. Good weather or is that cove really well sheltered?

My question exactly! That's all I was asking myself as I watched them climb - and look down.
I watched the entire video to find out, but they deprived me of the answer. Bastards.

Thanks watching and all your comments,
Descent from the summit of the beast is by an airy down climb from the summit along the ridge for 60m back to the top of pitch 3. A 25m Abseil from a peg and block belay takes you to a further down climb and a final 25m abseil to the sea level ledges.
The crux of the whole activity is the sea passage, which can be a tad emotional!
Iain
