Met up with Big E,Annie anne & alanrsv last night at Tollymore for a go on the wall,it's been well over a year since i had a harness on and i was looking forward to it. :P
Shannon was with me again & was eager to have a wee go at this climbing lark.Many thanks for all the guidance & patience Anne & big e had.

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.
