The “Totally Perfect” Trad Climbing at Ireland’s Inis Mór
Steve McClure visits Ricky Bell to check out the potential of the area's trad climbing
A short video of the amazing trad climbing potential on the island of Inis Mór in Ireland, featuring Steve McClure and Ricky Bell. Inis Mór is part of western Ireland’s Aran Islands and sits at the mouth of Galway Bay.
During a visit the unexplored cliffs of Inis Mór, England’s Steve McClure said: “I have never seen anything like it. There is more new route potential here that anywhere I’ve ever seen. Probably all put together.” Local Ricky Bell, one of the U.K.’s top trad climbers, is developing the area and there are currently less than 100 routes and the rock has been referred to as “totally perfect.”
While we can’t travel to Ireland just yet, once the world reopens this might have to be added to your list of trad climbing destinations. Watch a video of McClure’s visit below.
