Description

This is a tiny 75 foot crag with at least 11 routes squished in-between the vegetation. The rock is slate or some other form of metamorphic rock and is a little chossy in spots. Most of the obvious lines are moderately rated, but feel harder than they look.

Getting There

From Sligo: take the N4 to Ballysodare. Go west on the N59 toward Ballina. After only a couple miles the road will go down hill. On your left you will see hills (the cliff is hidden back in the hillside). You need to turn left on a little un-marked road. The driveway after this has a sign for Raven Rock Farm. Probably better to look for this and go back... Follow the road till you see the rock.
