You sure MCV gets 8 metres precip? Twin Stream does have some long climbs, some of which are mixed (bolts + gear), but it will cop similar weather to MCV. It's easily accessible from Glentanner station, which is on the way out of MCV.

The Darrans has loads of long multi-pitch but is renowned for its rainfall, possibly copping 8 metres per annum. It's getting alot of attention in the later summer months
