OutdoorNI.com is your definitive guide to climbing in Northern Ireland. There is nothing like the challenge of ascending a rock face and the satisfaction of taking in the view from the top.

For the unfamiliar it can seem a daunting activity, so a good starting point can be artificial climbing walls which are mostly found at activity centres. Climbing in Northern Ireland is actually easy to try and everyone should.

The cliffs and crags give a huge variety of climbing in Northern Ireland for all abilities, from the massive sea cliffs of Fairhead to the high tors of the Mournes. You can be climbing as soon as you are securely fitted into a harness and helmet and with an experienced instructor on the end of the rope, you need have no fear if you come unstuck, as it's all part of the fun of climbing. Climbs are graded so you know what you are tackling and any climb, even if you are just a few metres off the ground, gives you a fantastic feeling of achievement.
