Excellent Alan, see you then. Theres been a change of plan again in that the guys we were going climbing with on Saturday have had to pull out due to work/travel etc etc so we'll not be camping over that night, so we'll meet you at the carpark at 10? Or shall we all just make our way to the top and meet there

A great day was had; many thanks to Alan who's a great teacher.

Alan took a couple of photos, he said he'd put them up somewhere at some point, so we'll have to wait and see.

I'd also like to say thanks to Alan for a great day, possibly the most fun I've had in the Mournes, and definitely the most educational. Hats off to Eamonn as well, don't think I would have had the guts to do some of that as my very first time climbing.

Great pics there Alan, would you be able to send me a copy of them? Ye definitely have to get out and do that again :D
ZTO and I went up Binnian today for some bouldering stuff which was good fun, aside from my taking a pretty large fall and momentarily thinking my leg was breaking as I hit the ground but I survived

That looks fantastic guys, I just need to get a couple more bits of kit myself and sort the wee fella out and we are ready to do some climbing again.  Would you mind Alan if I tagged along sometime?  Brian

Yeah, we didn't have to though. You can just walk off most of the routes in the Mournes, but we figured abseiling would be more fun  :P
