KILDARE, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) - Jeez, I feel like I’m just advertising climbing events all the time on this blog :) Anyone actually getting any climbing done at present? :)

UPDATE: Date has been changed to the original weekend, i.e. 29th February to 2nd March. I’ve updated the Google Calendar event to reflect this.

Still though, this might help get people motivated coming into the summer season. Get your bouldering mats, brushes and woolies out folks, and maybe get some training in, as the annual Irish Bouldering Meet for 2008 is taking place in it’s home of Glendalough. Preliminary news is only up but expect the usual rush of square-shaped people into Glendalough valley for two days of skin-shredding fun on the boulders.

More info will be posted on The Short Spanor the climbing.ie forums here, so keep an eye out there.

great photo though!

i’m sure there is a way around that rock!

can’t go around it, can’t go under it, gotta go…. through it?

swishy, swashy, swishy, swashy…

LOL :) I pointed that out one day to a bunch of the keener boulders and they took offense at it…..
If it doesn’t have a bolt or some trad gear on it, I’m not as interested :)
