An Sho, another year in the inner and outer edges of the further in co. Donegal, Ireland.

Sea Stacks

A series of uber calm sea states allowed for three visits to very hard to reach locations off the Donegal coast. The first was a visit to the sea ward face of An Bhuideal with Louise O'Connor where we climbed a new route up the south face of the stack at a very exposed Hard Severe (5.8).

The second visit to the further was with Leman Lemanski where we did the second ascent of Tormore Island and the first free ascent as we removed the need for an outboard engine. We gained the stack from Glenlough Bay by wee dingy and massive smiles. (Tormore Islan, Irelands highest seastack)

Berg Stack

This small wedge shaped stack had a multitude of visits over the course of the year with four good routes filling the gaps on the landward facing vertical wall. This stack was first climbed by Steven Young and J. Leonard in 1973 and then again in 1988, the routes put up this year all take the remaining unclimbed features on the stack.
Berg stack was also the location for a pretty good tyrolean traverse for Columbia Clothing and Outsider Magazine in June, with 12 international journalists and perfect weather the day could not have gone any better.

Beyond the Ends of the Earth Crag

A visit to the most remote rock climbing location in Ireland, Beyond the Ends of the Earth Crag with Louise O'Connor. A high line traverse to accompany last years low line traverse was the order of the day. This crag was visited several time over 2014 and now has 5 excellent and very atmospheric routes living on its off vertical face.
