scramble, with a bit of easy climbing. You'd need a harness but could do it in boots. Why? you like the look of it?

Do you think we could get a couple of session on a climbing wall before hand just to build confidence.

The ozone is £5.50 for as long as you can stay on And you can get a harness at the desk only problem would be i've only one belay device so only one person could climb at a time, Not really a problem as you can mess about on the wall and climb as high as you feel safe pluss there is a bouldering area you dont need to be roped on (If you can rope fatty-arbuckle into it he has some gear too!) ,
I've never payed in tullymore (There's never been anyone at the desk!) but it has auto belays so up to 5 or 6 people could climb at a time if you can get harnesses (as I said no one at the desk!).

Chris are there any scramble/climbs in the Mournes that are anything close to that howling ridge?
