View source for Coreen More

'''Location'''

This crag is located in the Wild Nephin National Park, on the Northern end of Coreen More ridge, F956 079. From Newport, take the N59 to Mulranny/Achill. Shortly after leaving the town, turn right to the L1402 to Furnace. Continue for approximately 12 km, and then turn left to the Broghan Carroll Bothy/Letterkeen Trailhead. Park there. Follow the marks for the Western Way North on the forestry road. Follow the road for approximately 40 minutes. Then, take the trail into the col between Coreen More and Coreen Beg. Walk past the highest point on the trail, and the crag will become visible from the path on the left. Cut through the bog to the crag.

Although the crag is situated almost right in the middle of the Letterkeen Loop/Bothy Loop, the western side of Coreen More is boggy and more difficult, approaching it from that side is not advised.[[File:Coreen1.jpg|none|thumb|600x600px|Location|alt=]]
'''Character'''

It is a short, 9m crag perfect for learning leading trad. Routes vary from Diff to HS, varied protection is required, thus it is a perfect learning ground. The rock above provides some protection for anchors, however, cams or tricams are necessary. As these types of protection tend to walk, constant supervision is required. Hence, the crag is not suitable for bottom roping.[[File:Coreen2.jpg|none|thumb|600x600px|Coreen More Topo]]
