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
