Itinerary description

This trail begins in the tourist route's carpark and travels counter clockwise about the base of Mount Tibrogargan until reaching the base of the Zeitgeist multi-pitch. A small trail to the left will be visible shortly after the cave 4 lookout, follow it up until you reach the cliff wall, then continue left until you reach the waypoint.

After finishing the climb, the trail connects immediately with the Caves Route and ascends to the summit. Ensure your whole rack is left swinging from your harness as you top out to immediately assert your dominance to the peasants at the top. Follow the tourist's route down.

The walk in is a bit longer from the tourist's carpark than the climber's carpark, but it's convenient after the descent.

Recorded with a Garmin Foretrex 601.
