Day trip to Awesome Walls Dublin 20/01/13

[Typo-On]

I've no idea if this is true or not but I've heard the toll gates don't give you back change?

Anyone clarify this?

You will only need to go through one toll in Drogheda. Stick to the the left toll booths.. 2 will take cash 2 are calibrated, the two on the left take cash

Chars

Found coins to cover the way down and I'll get change at AW for the way home.

I'm thinking a NI-Wild trip wouldn't be complete without a stop at Micky D's so I may call in at Sprucefield for breakfast. I can already taste the double sausage and egg mcmuffin meal

Well.. I think its fair to say that Awesome Walls is well named! Fantastic place, cant wait to go back!
(Maybe Typo-on will get to climb next time  )

I thought I'd posted in here, must have got the 'someone has posted while you typed message' and not noticed

Awesome walls.... About sums it up

I got one boulder problem attempted then had to parent but great excuse to return

Did anyone take any photos, would love to see them.

Had a great time yesterday. That place is amazing, jealous that there isnt one in Belfast.

Some pictures below

So guys when are we going again?

[specimanYak]

Excellent photos, it's like somebody threw a bag of skittles at the wall.

Good pics, whoever said it wasnt actually that busy if you took the kids for the YCS out was right. I assume they were all up doing the bouldering segment during the photos

Annd the video.

I was going to post it here instead of my Facebook first, but it automtically posts it for me. So second best will have to do 

Any way I can embed vimeo? I know Youtube is the most popular one, is there a similar not to hard to implement feature for vimeo?

Thats brilliant

I was going to post my video of megan busting some moves on her second route climb but I dont have any video editing software to take my talking out of it  ( I didnt even notice you recording on the way down  )

[specimanYak]

Great video, some nice edits there.

For those that missed dublin heres what Megan was up to (and another couple of pictures of AW)

http://www.mountaineering.ie/news/viewdetails.asp?ID=763

The second picture has her second boulder problem the green route starts in the bottom right of the picture then traverses left and they had to bridge on the yellow face and its opposite (that you cant see) and reach a hold at the top out of scene.

The third picture is the third bouldering problem. Green again starting with two hands on the big green under the young fella and a foot on the mini green at the bottom going up and to the right. Finishing at the big to green.
This route was the hardest boudlering route these two age categories completed so as(I assume) to get a 'winner'. Only a couple managed to make it across to the right and only one completed.

Yup, she just seemed all 'Yeah, whatever' and upset she didnt complete the final routes. But I was very much proud dad

Need to get back down soon... anyone?

How about 24/2? would that give everyone enough time to make arrangements?
