Hi guys,

Anyone ever camp on top of Chimney Rock Mountain?  ???
What ever our wandering our happiness will always be found within a narrow compass, and in the middle of the objects more immediately within our reach.

The big crag at the North West end of the top can give good wind protection depending on its direction, and the Mourne wall isn't too far away if you need to bale out lower due to bad weather. Safe parking at the Bloody Bridge campsite if you throw Frank a few pound  ;)
think outside, no box required

And here - we dropped down 10 metres from the summit to escape the winds, not everything went as planned.

Did you guys get a camp done on Chimney Rock?  I'm a bit scared to ask after Kili's last post :o

No - RevSi and a few other mates should be heading up in the next couple of weeks for a blast.
