Ireland - Benbulben 526 M

Benbulben 526 M is an established climbing destination. If climbed by the north face, it is a dangerous climb. That side bears the brunt of the high winds and storms that come in from the Atlantic Ocean. However, if climbed by the south side, it is an easy climb, since that side slopes very gently. Upon reaching the summit, the climber is rewarded with a magnificent view over the coastal plain of north Co. Sligo and the Atlantic ocean.

    On Limestone quarried near the spot By his command these words are cut: Cast a cold eye On life on death. Horseman pass by! W B Yeats 1938 'Under Ben Bulben'. Thanks for the climb and reminding me of our greatest poet.

    Incredible. I have never seen anyone climb it face on. Wonderful skills to film it in this way especially when you were on your own.

    Loved the approach,right over the spring where Fionn could have saved Diarmuid's life,The scramble looks intimidating from the woods,but seemed reasonable in good weather,this is Ireland conditions can change seriously in a moment,Irish mountains are not big,but we have so much variety,the changeable weather can be the crux.

Niestety widze że ta strona jest zbyt niebezpieczna, choc satysfakcję miałeś zapewnie ogromną. Możesz podpowiedzieć, którędy moglibyśmy wejść na tę cudowną górę? Pozdrawiam Piotr

    Cześć zamysł z noclegiem na szczycie bardzo łajny.Ja wchodziłem na szczyt dwa razy.Za pierwszym razem wybrałem łatwiejsze podejście mniej wiecej od północno-zachodniej strony.Tutaj jest link z mapa,który najlepiej to obrazuje www.walkingroutes.ie/890-Benbulben-Head-&-Kings-Mountain.html lub inna strona,z której często korzystam mountainviews.ie/summit/402/?PHPSESSID=klng2dg6fbqer41k0l3k57mrv6 myśle,że te dwie strony dostarczą ci wystarczajacych informacji .Naprawde warto tam wejść.Pozdrawiam.

    Zgadza się ,tak to bylo w rzeczywistości i w pewnym momencie zdałem sobie sprawe z niebezpieczeństwa ale nie mogłem już zawrócić było zbyt pionowo to dlatego himalaiści mówią,że łatwiej jest wejść niż zejść moge to potwierdzić .Dlatego też nikt nie wspina sie na te góre tą droga bo zbyt stromo i wieje silny wiatr od oceanu a ja chciałem spróbowac i udało sie ,zeszłem z innej strony szlakiem bez najmniejszych trudności,ale nie o to chodziło czasami sam wytyczam sobie szlak najatrakcyjniejszy im trudniej tym wieksza satysfakcja.POZDRAWIAM.

    Je suppose que c'est l'ascension via la face sud qui est filmée présentement. "However, if climbed by the south side, it is an easy climb, since that side slopes very gently" est-il indiqué en langue anglaise. Non merci. Il faut se livrer à une escalade périlleuse !
