In reply to UKC Articles:I climbed it with a friend as his first ever rock climb, I think his only ever climb, and another as her first multi-pitch. I got beta off my uncle Frank who had climbed it many years previously, with nails in the pouring rain.
After we popped into the Loch Inagh Lodge for a pint of slowwww poured Guinness amongst the oak panelling and fly fisher men. When I asked the barman if they had any crisps, he replied curtly 'Do we look like the sort of establishment that serves crisps.' Well as curtly as an Irishman can get, maybe more of a wry smile. Brilliant.
Then a couple of days drinking and mooching around Galway and the Burren. A great long weekend.
