Noseeum Mountain

5.8

Trad

• FA: Jay Mills & Steph Kish

Scramble up about 100m to the base of the route. Can be fourth classed with a bit of weaving around.

Follow the corner for 2 pitches with one fixed pin at a good belay ledge on the left at 50m shortly after a tricky 5.8/9 section. On the 3rd pitch continue up the right hand corner until many options present themselves. Go up and right following a series of corners to nice belay spots on grassy ledges. Choose your own adventure for the final easy pitch, but we went back up and left and easily found a belay in the limestone above. The route is easy to follow the whole way, just climb the corner & crack.

We fixed a descent (with nuts & pins) a ways to the left (see photo). Kicked a bit of a trail over to it and built a couple cairns at the first rap. The first anchor should be easy to spot.
