Post by: chris on January 28, 2011: Its Dave mcloud doing the hardest trad rock climb in the world at the time, Rapsody at dumbarton rock in glasgow. He's since put a harder route up on Ben nevis.
Did you know though that for a while the hardest route in the world was in the mournes!?

Post by: LandyLiam on January 29, 2011: i do fancy taking up a bit of climbing this year, after looking at dave's vid i thought i'd check ebay for one of his dvd's, not cheap though :'( has anyone any recommendations on climbing videos? (for a beginner, none of this E11 stuff ;D ) anything which involves the mournes would be a bonus

editted to add:

found the trailer here

Lenny i'm popping round soon to borrow the dvd then down to Craigs to buy his climbing shoes, then all i'll need is a rope, and some muscles ::)
