Description

Northeast facing, recessed, short climbs with nice variety of moderates, trad and steep, pumpy sport lines.

Good Craic is a term for fun, entertainment, and enjoyable conversation. It is often used with the definite article the craic. The 'craic' is interpreted as a specifically and quintessentially Irish form of fun. You may still hear the echos of Bob D's laughter in the walls.

Getting There

Follow trail North to east facing series of dihedrals.
