Feel on top of the world

DANGLING half way down a mountain from a nylon rope like some agitated spider is probably not the best place to wonder if the sport of climbing is for you.

By that stage you already need to know that you have a head for heights and that conquering the cliff face in front of you is something you really want to achieve.

If you do feel extreme fear out on the cliff face, then rock climbing is probably not for you. British climber Matt Tranter is very experienced on Irish cliffs and is quite clear on the fear factor.
