The Wicklow cranking season is nearly over and with the longer and warmer days, boulderers will be back to good old Portrane. So as a conclusion of this winter’s posts, here is a video of Mall Hill. Yes I finally took the time to put these little videos together.
They are not as great as I hoped they would be, but I think they are good enough to show the quality of the bouldering in there. It only features the Dublin-Beauvais boulder on the left side of the hill and a couple of boulders in the forest: I have not recorded anything on the right side of the hill but maybe this is an opportunity for next year as there are some awesome lines there too.
I should also mention the climbers names: Michael “the Dude” Nicholson on the slab and “The small Matter of Up” (No Mikey, this was not a first ascent…) , Michael Duffy on “Piece de Resistance” (Michael, this is the only French name I could think of, so feel free to rename it) and Myself on “Living the dream” and “Coup d’Etat”.

That's cool man, good work... Nice site too,
nice going dude - looks great.
where'd you get the music - some weird french music or something? ;)
No seriously, cool music - where do I get it?
Cheers Lads.
You like porn music then Neal? The name is "Suck it and see": It's a double CD set of various artists from the nineties. Be aware that you might find some of it a bit offensive!
you used a thigh.....
Your Video managed to get me back to Mal Hill after a fairly tragic and disappointing visit a couple of years ago. After wading across a river, bashing through forestry, I was pretty unimpressed! However, I then found the boulders in the forest - beautiful boulders and great problems too.... Nice work
