For decades Irish climbers have been climbing trad routes up the corners and cracks of this massive crag, and word is slowly spreading, with some going so far as to call it the best crag in Britain and Ireland
He succeeded a couple of days later, describing it as the best and wildest single pitch of climbing he has done and confirming it as E9, Fair Head's first at that grade.
The jewel in the crown of Irish climbing is Fair Head, near the Giant's Causeway in Antrim. The dolerite cliff stretches for over 3 km with over 400 routes and is considered one of the best crags in Britain or Ireland. The climbing is predominantly on cracks and corners with some of the harder routes venturing onto the blank faces. It's not a crag for beginners with little below VS and many routes require abseil approaches.
I would say this is best answered in terms of perfect climbing moments. Glenn Ross 8A+ at Fair Head, Northern Ireland was a brilliant moment, proper grim conditions and great company on a really unique power problem.
