Who wouldn't want to go here.

Looks amazing mate
There is pleasure in the pathless woods, There is rapture on the lonely shore, There is society where none intrudes, By the deep sea and the music in its roar; I love not man the less, but Nature more

If you die with all your parts working your not trying hard enough!

scramble, with a bit of easy climbing. You'd need a harness but could do it in boots. Why? you like the look of it?

it'd be easy enough. What is it they say "learn by doing!"

Do you think we could get a couple of session on a climbing wall before hand just to build confidence.

The ozone is £5.50 for as long as you can stay on And you can get a harness at the desk only problem would be i've only one belay device so only one person could climb at a time, Not really a problem as you can mess about on the wall and climb as high as you feel safe pluss there is a bouldering area you dont need to be roped on (If you can rope fatty-arbuckle into it he has some gear too!) ,
I've never payed in tullymore (There's never been anyone at the desk!) but it has auto belays so up to 5 or 6 people could climb at a time if you can get harnesses (as I said no one at the desk!).

Chris are there any scramble/climbs in the Mournes that are anything close to that howling ridge?
