Downpatrick Head Sea Stack Climb

Living 80m off Downpatrick Head on the north coast of Co Mayo in the Republic of Ireland is the iconic Dún Briste Sea Stack. Landed on by helicopter in the 80's and climbed once before in 1990. In this film Iain Miller and Paulina Kaniszewska make a very rare ascent of Dún Briste sea stack.
the story of the ascent is www.uniqueascent.ie/sp/article....

    There is a broken medieval quern stone visible in 2 35 (ring shape). It is positioned exactly as it was in 1981 when scientists found it. There's even a video footage of it on RTE Radio 1 archive.

    Well done on the climb. Boldly going where only only 6? others have gone since the collapse in 1393 (mainly by helicopter!). Congratulations from Ballycastle.

    Spectacular climb! I was hoping I'd get to see where you hid the geocache. I guess I'll just have to go find it myself 😀

    How did you built your anchor when abseiling off, is there anything solid enough to use on top?
