No. We do our very best to provide a safe and enjoyable activity. However the Irish weather can provide challenging conditions at the best of times. With this in mind we may change our planned venue. For example indoor courses or experiences are not cancelled due to bad weather but for outdoor climbing courses or experiences we may if possible move the course/ experience indoors. If this is not possible and the weather is bad enough we will re-schedule the activity for a later date.

Yes. We pick locations that have car parking. However please note some parking locations are small and careful parking is required. No gates, driveways or entrances should ever be blocked. Some parking areas have a fee. Although we try select safe areas to park, we are not responsible for your car or its contents. Leave nothing valuable in your car.

This depends on the location. For the indoor climbing courses at Awesome Walls Dublin or Dublin Climbing Centre it is possible to use public bus. For outdoor locations such as Dalkey Quarry, the dart or bus is possible. Outside of the Dublin area the outdoor climbing locations can be hard to reach with public transport.
