MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Tormore Island South (<i>An Tor Mór Theas</i>) in area Donegal SW, Ireland
Picture: Cnoc na Mara		  
Cnoc na Mara
by IainMiller  21 Nov 2016
This is Cnoc na Mara (Hill of the Sea), Cnoc na Mara (Hill of the Sea) is an iconic 100 meter high sharks fin sea stack living in the southern shadow of Irelands highest sea stack Tormore Island. It is safe to say this stack represents all that is great about adventure climbing. It's impressive soaring 150m long landward arête provides one of the most rewarding and adventurous rock climbs in Ireland. It is easily an equal to the mighty Old Man of Hoy off the Orkney Islands in the north of Scotland.
