For the third successive year, Mountaineering Ireland will be hosting a climbing meet at Fair Head over the weekend of 1st-3rd June. Last year’s event was a massive success with over 150 climbers showing up throughout the weekend.

For those of you that haven't visited Fair Head, it's a mecca for trad climbing.  Tucked away on the North coast of Northern Ireland it boasts many 3 star routes ranging from VS to E8.  Many of the routes follow crack lines giving well protect and strenuous climbing but it also has its fair share of technical walls and steep pumpy roofs.  The pure size and scale of Fair Head will leave long lasting memories and is a must visit destination for all operating at the grade!

The years Saturday night entertainment will be in the form of Scottish hotshot Greg Boswell.  He will be giving a slideshow and lecture in the now regular setting on farmer Sean’s barn!  As usual the slideshow will start when everyone is off the crag on the Saturday evening (usually around 11ish!).  Camping will be £5 per person per night.
