From Irish Climbing Wiki

Introduction

A long low limestone cliff ranging in height from 3m to 10m. It is about 600m above and behind St Patrick's Church in Fanore. Park at Murrough Bridge, there are a few spaces on the grassy verge of the Khyber Pass road. Walk up the road towards the Pass for 200m and there is a stile on the right hand side, climbs over this and head up the rocky hillside until you spot the escarpment line.
