Knocknagun on thursday

Trekked up knocknagun for an explore. Started at small coillte gateway close to glencree and took ish straightline route, the value of which is debatable. Met mass rocks first, the granite is very three rock in nature. On the left boulder was a small lovely concave slab with an intriguing straight line, no holds just very fine friction. Got leg over trhs of slab but direct woul dbe nicer. The right boulde yielded a coupleo f lines also, a high face with very distinct holds over a landing that dropped away. The k'gun tors themselves were more elaborate shapes than 3 rock but very similar in style. Some nice little traverses and very short almost eliminates. Wasn't feeling it generally more to do with being out of climbing shape than the venue.
