Alanrsv with the youth group he brought
Karma guys & i'll see you's next week
It was a great night and plenty of craic.. just a pity it closed at 10pm :)
Good nights climbing, the time flew by,john and shannon did really well both making it to the top using just one colour. Great stuff! :)
Meant to say... it was great to see Alanrsv too! we'll have to organise another wee day out when the weather turns better, with edd of course..... maybe somewhere a little warmer than Eagle rock :-\ :)
Looking forward to getting up there myself.. On the plus side my youff club finished tonight so I'm free next Thursday if anyone wants to climb

Im free until 2pm :)
I like the angle of the photos MourneMan, is there a viewing platform at Hotrocks looking down on the wall or are you hanging on a rope on the other side? I've never been there so don't know how it's laid out.

The wall is downstairs of the entrance, so it is like a viewing platform.
Cheers, makes more interesting photos as you can fit a lot more of the wall in and gets a better since of scale.
Heading back for another climb at Tollymore tomorrow night,if anyone wants to join us ;D
The usual suspects ... ;)
