Gowlbeg Mountain

From Glengarriff follow the L61 to Derreenacarrin (about 5 miles). Turn right GR V 887 512) and follow road to small track on R (GR V881 517). Leave cars here. Follow track to ruins, move in a north-westerly direction across some marsh ground plus stream until you come to a slab about 200m long, rising from 3m to 25m in height. About halfway along the slab it is split by a long grass ledge. The climbs are just right of the grass ledge.

There is a small section of steep slab about 6m wide, split with a few cracks. Just right of a wide grass crack there is a small thin crack (climbed by J. Leonard). 5m right there are a twin cracks 1m apart (the left one is 'Spider'. The slab between the two was climbed by D. Byrne.
