bring a set of off sets if you can for the crag --tony ryan

Having only visited the crag for inspection, the only potential anchors on top seems to be the odd well anchored boulder. Mostly suited to lead climbing from what i can see. Has anyone attempted any top roping here? don.caulfield@students.ittralee.ie --Don Caulfield

You might be able to find a peg or two on the top. It s been so long since I was out there, Ive forgotten the anchors we used. Topropes are possible, if you can find the anchors :) --Dave Hunt

On a recent visit just before xmas, had some issues with a local land owner with regard to parking and access. As you drive up the road from caherconlish and the crag becomes visible on the left, a small farm house will be passed on the right ahnd side of the road. The occupant objected to parking 50m on the caherconlish side at what is one of the only parking possibilities at the road side. I left to avoid any issues at the time and for future visits. It may be advisable in future to park at the last junction before approaching the crag where an easy walk on the road will lead you to a roadside entrance to the fields flanking the crag. Has anybody else ever had this issue? --Don Caulfield

I am regular user of this crag as it is so close, I can pop out for afew hours in the evenings. I found the landowners involved last autum and approached them regarding access. He has meet us afew times while out at the crag, good realationship at the moment. Some good challenges on this one, keeps me practiced. Anyone wishing ot visit, I am more than happy to bring you along, hence removing the issues mentioned above. Seamus Sinnott---PM Sillysin

A little crag history: The route 'Alfredo' is named in memory of Alfredo Rampi, an Italian toddler who tragically lost his life trapped in a well in 1981. Posting a route with his name, with a view down the meadow flower clad slopes to a late summer evening silvery Shannon estuary, seemed a good way to remember him. --- Will Walker
