Due to recently re-imposed coronavirus restrictions, we are unable to go ahead with the Climbfest in Culdaff this weekend 22-23 August. The club feels it would be irresponsible to invite climbers to travel from around the country to Donegal, given the recent spike in outbreaks.

Hope to see you again at Climbfest 2021.

Everyone has their own agenda, but maybe during 2014 club members can meet for one event per month. Here are a few suggestions.

The new bouldering wall at YMCA should be open soon, and members in Belfast will no doubt be meeting at the Ozone.

Sunday 15th December 2013. Jolly Christmas Abseil at Glenveigh main crag. Walk or bike into the estate hut Saturday night by 10.00pm , and bivvy/party! Ivan threatens to bring Czech poteen.

January. 18th, 19th 2014 Winter Weekend in Letterfrack, Connemara, organiser Margaret. Also Johnny Sharkey’s Eglish cottage in the Bluestacks, is available climb, hike, bike whatever?

5th-9th February. Winter trip to Torridon. Keith, Ant and PJ will organise. Let Keith know if you want to go. 6 signed up so far.
