Donegal



This weekend's plan was to visit Polldoo Glen, Muckross Head and Carrickfin. Unfortunatly Saturday was so misty that we only got an hour of climbing at Muckross Head: Just enough to try Jesus, and Joseph (Mary was too wet...) and to add a new problem below the roof to the left. Quintana is a 15 moves roof traverse which is probably around 6b when it is dry.
Sunday's better conditions allowed us to give a serious attempt to the Carrickfin's three star arete. Without any success. However we managed to climb all the other lines registered in the Short Span guide, exept for the crack route right of the three star arete (another "not easily taken away"). We also climbed a few lines at the top of the crag which did not seem to be recorded.
