- Driving around the Gleniff Horseshoe in County Sligo, Ireland we decided to climb up to this cave. It was a tough climb to the top, definitely recommended it unless you have a fear of heights.
Very difficult climb, and even harder descent. You need to be sure footed and have a head for heights - this is very Dangerous
So that little tight tunnel you were at, you can drop down that hole and it opens into another cavern thing. Dunno if you knew that and just decided against or not but worth checking out if you're back again. It's maybe 7ft drop down but you can kinda climb it
Would be an ideal spot for a Via Ferrata, but authorities and farmer would never allow it.
Fantastic video,so many people have recently discovered Ballintrillick, Benwisken and Gleniff Horseshoe.
I never really appreciated how beautiful the landscape in my homeplace is until I got older.
Be careful not to go up there unless conditions are good and never bring a dog
never bring a dog ? how come ? I'm on my way there now with the missus and my dog.....
@@KennethKilleen266 how was it with the dog? seems pretty steep
@@MrBiggiefuckinsmalls yea it was actually grand, shes a jack russell, extremely muscley and fit with a low centre of gravity so she was not a bother going up or down, just kept her on the leash up and down yeno. yea it is pretty steep, id say 75-80° at some points, and two 90° inclines also butare both fairly small tbf.
All in all, if your dog is small and fit i wouldnt go against it even in small rain, which there was on the way down. Great spot, and will do it again next year. We had lunch and wine in the cave also, ill never forget it.
@@KennethKilleen266 because you are walking through farm land and the dog might take off after sheep
@@jayuppercase3398 thats why i had the leash with me.
Did it last year savage place, great video love it
Be careful up there. Somebody died there recently (within the last 2 weeks) after falling off a Cliffe in the Gleniff horseshoe area - somewhere around the cave
Yeah. As far as I can tell from the information from the news articles, somehow they climbed above the cave and were on their way down when they got stuck. Lovely place, but very dangerous if you're not properly trained or equipped.
Savage... Is it hard to find? Definitely hitting it up in the Summer!
Ancient pen, what a find!
They need to turn that In to the National Muesuem of Ireland as all Archaelogical finds in Ireland are held in trust in there.
How is one lad climbing with fecking wellies. I couldn't climb it with runners on
I was born wearin wellies buddy, they rear us different in the wilds of Leitrim !!!
Oh wow was here recently, didn't go to cave , unfortunately no proper gear and farmer was about. Very cool
Was there yesterday and close to the top but it started to drizzle, so i made the decision to go down again... There will be another time!
What was the name of the band and the title of the upbeat song during the first minute?
It looks so beautiful but to scary for me to climb alone:/
