These climbs are on the north-west face of the mountain within L7852. Approach via Gleann Eidneach to Mám Eidhneach and then contour on a sheep-track across the scree below the steeper slopes of Binn Braoin. Pass a rockface with a gully on its right and cross the forestry boundary fence. A short way along the track a big clean slab comes into view above on the left. Scramble up to the foot of the crag.

'''Sundance''' 131m V Diff 
D. Short, J. Lynam, (shared leads) 2nd June 1985. 
Start on a heathery ramp sloping up to the left just beside a vague break in the slab. 1. 35m Climb on clean rock just left of the break, surmount a small overhang and continue more or less straight up on small but solid holds. At about 30m a small bulge is climbed and the route goes a little right (some loose rock) into a little recess. 2. 38m Move left out of the recess and continue up. After about 10m the angle relents and easier climbing leads to a big heather shoulder. Walk across this (50m) to the foot of the second slab aiming for the lowest point on the left. 3. 33m Climb the wall, trending right, and continue up the centre of the slab. Finish through a notch to a good ledge. 4. 25m Climb easily up a rib behind the ledge and continue to easy ground.

'''The next route lies on the next buttress to the west, high up, and can be best reached by traversing above the finish of Sundance across a gully.'''

'''Shipshape''' 41m D 
D. Short, J. Lynam, (shared leads) 2nd June 1985. 
Start at the centre of the base of the trapeze-shaped face which lies below the final wall of the buttress. 1. 21m Climb up into the recess below the overhang (beware of loose rock). Climb the overhang, which has excellent holds and good protection, and continue up to a broad ledge. 2. 20m Climb the wall above the ledge just left of a scoop. After about 12m the angle eases and moderate climbing leads to easy ground.From here a short scramble leads to the ridge of Binn Braoin about 100m east of the north summit.

'''On the north-west face are a long line of broken cliffs, little explored, which look well from Meacanacht. One route is recorded -'''

'''Cloudy Rib''' 250m M 
Start about halfway along the cliff, immediately below a large nose. Climb the nose which is surprisingly easy and continue in as direct a line as possible up a succession of slabs, corners and walls to the summit ridge.

+Half tide only. Start from the Pulpit. Climb down the steep left-hand side of the Pulpit and step across to the base of the crack. Climb this. There is another route starting in a separate crack system just to the right of Cockle. This route was climbed on the same day as Cockle but was never recorded for some reason. Well worth doing. Climb the crack easily to the base of an obvious flake. Ascend the flake to top. V.Diff.<br>
