Title: NW Mayo climbing?
Post by: runt on June 17, 2014, 11:45:43 am: I suspect the answer is no, but I have a short job near Belmullet this week and wondered if there is any bouldering nearby? More than happy with directions for a bit of coastal pottering, doesn't have to be the next p.ysgo.

Thanks
Andrew

Now if I can work out where NW Mayo is I may be of help.....

port point west of Termoncarragh looks worth a punt.

Solid rock and fun scrambling about in your trainers at 54°16'03.4"N 9°53'24.8"W, and I think the beach further west might have something worth checking out if I get back there.
