Fanad Head Bouldering - Rinboy Point

A collection of problems on a coarse orange granite very similar to the rock at Leenan/Dunaff on Inishowen and Camckfinn on the west coast. The climbing is on granite outcrops on a pebble beach, often getting the winter sun. Problems can get affected by high tide so tide tables would probably be best checked if taking a trip up.
