A collection of the most weird and wonderful climbs in Ireland and the UK.
The list is still in it's expansion stage, suggestions and partners are extremely welcome.
Then the list will be trimmed down to a more manageable size, to maximise quality and diversity.
Then in 2025 I'm setting out to climb them, and finalise the list.
