This little crag is comprised of pillars, corners and chimneys and can be seen clearly from the road. Most of the routes were climbed by Tiglin groups before they were recorded. Access – From the car–park of Ailladie (Stone Wall area) walk south for a few hundred metres until the roadside crag swings sharply east and becomes a bit higher. Known locally as Ballyreen.
This little crag is comprised of pillars, corners, and chimneys and can be clearly seen from the coast road travelling down the Burren towards Doolin harbour. Access is easy and the walk is around 20–30 seconds. Some great bouldering up top and seems pretty undeveloped – worth a look if passing by.
Drone technology had been deployed during the week in the search for the 22 year-old who was reported missing after he failed to return to his tour bus which had stopped at Ballyreen, on the Wild Atlantic Way, between Fanore and Lisdoonvarna, at the designated time of departure.
