Mountaineering Ireland in association with Ambrose Flynn of Hike & Climb, Claire Comiskey of Rock Ready Outdoors and Damien O’Sullivan of Anabatic, are delighted to announce the 2023 Youth Climbing Camps.  These camps are for young climbers who are keen to experience climbing outdoors on rock, and want to develop the skills to do so independently and safely. 

These camps will provide younger climbers with the opportunities to experience the amazing climbing that Ireland has to offer, and support them to develop the skills to enjoy it safely and to the fullness of their potential.
