 Oysterhaven is a very quiet scenic bay with 2 coves filled with small boats, 16 miles south of Cork city.  The climbs are situated on a small promontory on the South Eastern tip of a broad headland less than a mile from the end of the surfaced road. The rock here is mainly carboniferous slates and grits end some climbs have a light coating of lichen but, in the dry, this has adhesive qualities every bit as good as the clean rock. The belays on top are minimal and in a few places the rock is fragile. As there have been very few second ascents the grades are only approximate. These climbs were done in '77 - '78.

 A TRAVERSE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THESE CLIMBS CAN BE MADE THROUGH THE CAVE, AT LOW TIDE, TO EMERGE ON THE WESTERN SIDE WHERE SOME VERY SERIOUS LOOKING CLIMBS CAN BE SEEN. OPPOSITE THESE CLIMBS THERE IS ANOTHER "DIFFICULT" ROUTE TO THE  TOP, UP A GRADUALLY ASCENDING GULLY. THIS IS ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE OVERHANGING CORNER OF THE SOUTH-EAST CLIFFS.
