Anyone who hasn't got a copy of the Irish bouldering guidebook better move fast as there is only 20 copies left.
The plan at the moment is to do a second edition in a few years rather than a straight reprint. I'm considering some sort of electronic version in the interim.

Over the weekend 3 new problems were climbed in the Scalp. High up on the West side of the valley is a large boulder with a prominient arete and a faded tricolour painted on the face. Often looked at but it had a sloping landing. A group sorted the landing with branches from the forest and climbed 3 problems. The pick of the bunch Eyrie 6c highballs up the arete. Skewer 6a climbing the face on the left and Manical laugh 6? traverses into the arete from the left and takes it on the left hand side. First ascents by John Howard, John Howard and James Gernon.

I have updated the site finally. There is now a new Irish bouldering forum. There is a list of blogs related to Irish bouldering in the left column.
I'm going to try and keep the site updated with news, there seems to be a good bit going on at the moment. If you have any news or information about new problems or interesting ascents or nice video or photos post up on the forum.
