Gap of Dunloe

Southern Ireland, IE

The Gap of Dunloe contains over 300 routes spread across more than a dozen crags. The rock is very high quality red sandstone and tends to form steep faces that are crossed by horizontal breaks. The climbing is generally steep with good holds. The abundance of parallel cracks and breaks make a good selection of cams almost indispensable. Double ropes are useful, especially on the longer pitches, they are also required for the abseil descents.
