Climbing and Cliff Adventures

The Wicklow Mountains offer some of Ireland's premier granite climbing and technical scrambling. This collection focuses on key routes and access points concentrated around the glacial valleys of Glendalough and Glenmalure. It includes the multi-pitch challenges of Great Gully Ridge and the dramatic glacial cirques of the North and South Prisons on Lugnaquilla. These sites provide varied terrain, ranging from established approach paths to steep cliff faces suitable for abseiling and technical ascents.
