We started our trip at Fairhead, joining the masses of keen climbers on the Mountaineering Ireland Meet. The weather tended to be a bit misty and damp first thing but improved to give some beautiful sunny afternoons and evenings. We started with a classic three pitch E2 called Cúchulainn that involved various off-widths, corners, roofs and grooves. What a fantastic outing, all fairly strenuous and very different to limestone face climbing. ]]> Sat, 03 Jul 2010 17:27:00 -0400 9940 2010-07-03 http://fiveten.com/images/stories/jreviews/9940_defaultnoimage_1278430362.jpg http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9939-510-chase-used-for-trial-bike http://fiveten.com/community/blog-detail/9939-510-chase-used-for-trial-bike Apparently the Five Ten Chase has many uses, including Trial Bike.
