Description Suggest change

Irish Curse is one of the few iconic mixed lines in Kinsman Notch. Horrifying and proud, this one has only seen a few ascents. 

Left of Shamrock locate an overhanging prow, cut by a steep corner with bolts. Start up terrain of rock, turf, or ice (depending on the year) and meander your way up to the bolts and follow them to the top of the dihedral. After the dihedral follow a steep thin crack way out right with some spots that open up for cams. Finish up the crack and top out in the trees. 

Location Suggest change

Just left of shamrock. A bolted overhanging dihedral leading to a very steep right trending crack.

Protection Suggest change

Screws, then bolts, then cams .3-#3 for the finishing crack.
