Description

Follow the crack to the top. Great and classic intro to Fairhead, about as good a VS as you can find on the island of Ireland. Cruiser hand jams for most of the way, crux is around 1/2 to 2/3rds of the way up the route.

Location

One of the rightmost routes at the Prow. If descending the short steep gully on the outer edge of the Prow, you'll come face to face with this route while traversing along the wall.
