Ramore Head, Portrush
Ramore Head, West End.
Directions: Park at the harbour, or the large car park at the East side of the head, and walk back past the tennis courts, onto the cliff edge until 2 abseil rings are reached. Ab off the one nearest the harbour to a large non tidal platform. The climbs are East of the abseil descent. The rock is nobbly, dries quickly, and is much sounder than popular opinion would have it. There is much potential for more routes,(subject to abseil inspection) but belays on the top are a problem. Not climbed on very much, due mainly to its proximity to Fair Head, but would probably have its own guide book were it in Belfast. Anyone with any more information on Ramore, contact atees@dawsonwhyte-nw.co.uk OS Grid Reference: 853410
