Rock Fall In Dalkey Quarry

Due to recent high winds there has been a major collapse in the Upper Quarry. The routes from Giant's Staircase rightwards all the way to Praying Mantis have been affected.

Mountaineering Ireland and DLRCC Parks Authority requests all climbers to avoid the upper section of the quarry until clearance work and stabilisation has been completed.

In a bizarre and grotesque twist a severed hand was discovered behind a fallen block in the proximity of Frenzy.

Gardai have been called to the scene and are currently investigating. They have stated that it is unlikely to be a climbers hand but have not ruled out the possibility.
