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. Alternatively, email daveh@climbing.ie and I can manually register you.
