Access Banned

Mountaineering Ireland is actively engaged with Newry, Mourne & Down District Council in relation to securing access for climbing at Moorhill Quarry. In the meantime climbing at Moorhill Quarry is not allowed. There is a new lock on the gate installed by the council on 18/11/2022. Please do not use the quarry to ensure that the talks between MI and the Council runs smoothly.

Take a big grey cam (DMM #6/Camalot #4/Friend #4). Very thin finish.

I. Rea, C. Torrans, C. Sheridan.

βeta: There are two ways we found for the top (from the ledge). Straight up ( using the borehole for left foot), or more across (diagonally) to the right (how the guidebook suggests). Both are real nice, unfortunately no gear...

βeta: Definitely bring the big grey cam, or a big hex at least. There's a borehole which protects the top section.
