Here is a link to a free topo maker just for making topos for climbing. It is so much easier than using any type of publishing software or Microsoft products like Word.

Irish Climbing Database

There are two main methods of accessing the database.

  1. The Irish Climbing Database page is a text list of crags by county.
  2. The Interactive Map is a Google map of over 200 pins listing crags, gyms, stacks, etc.

This database supplements the Mountaineering Ireland guidebooks.

Anybody can read the contents of the database, but to edit, you'll need an account or send new route reports to admin@climbing.ie. Please see Readers Guide and Editors Guide sections below.

NOTE: DUE TO A RECENT SOFTWARE UPGRADE (March 2021), all logins had to be removed, and new registrations are required. So please use the Create Account page to register. There is a problem with the server sending you the registration email due to security issues, so please email daveh@climbing.ie with your username and I can manually enable your registration.

  • New WYSIWYG Editor, no more having to deal with wiki mark up language.
  • Updated the wiki software from a 12-year-old version to a right-up-to-the-minute version.
