Climbing: Best VS’s in Ireland

Written by nealmcq

Unknown climber on Prelude Nightmare, glendalough, Wicklow, Ireland

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) - Some may remember myself and Steve McGowan ran a quick forum test over on climbing.ie’s forums recently to test the waters as regards the best routes of each respective grade here in Ireland. Originally I was going to make this out as a top 10 list, but since the list was pretty small in some grades, I’m just going to post out a Poll and let people vote! so, to kick it off today, here’s the 1st: VS. Get voting!!!!

To reduce any preferences of my own, I’ve listed the routes in alphabetical order according to crag.

Glad to see Run of the Arrow in this - even if Hard Severe ;
7th Heaven or Prelude Nightmare right up near top but - for sphinctertightening effect when first seen ( How do I get out of here ? ) : Clingon - Claideamh Solais in Lugulla : Other Lugulla gem would include All along the Watchtower

is it possible to include another VS route in the vote, I was recently asked to include a route done many years ago by some local climbers in kerry and was wondering is that still possible

Mike O’Shea, Dingle CG?

Can we add another VS by request, it is in the Gap, but discussed by the Locals as a choice? Bit cheeky I know, but I climbed the route and have been coherced into asking the question. Thanks for your time.

Mike

Mike, I’ll forward your request onto Neal who ran the survey.
