    Hello there, I am doing a college project documenting Dalkey quarry, and cannot find the average heights of the cliffs in the Upper Tier or the Valleys. Does anyone know them? Even a rough estimate would be fine. I've found a list here:

    http://www.climbing.ie/routes/index.html

    which has distances on them, but I'm not sure if these are vertical distances or the distance you climb across the cliff face, if you know what I mean.

    Anyone know? Quick response would be appreciated as the paper has to be turned in...er..today

    It's the distance you climb as apposed to the height. Thrust is a pretty much straight up route and that's 24m. Frenzy and Tower Ridge Direct, again both pretty much straight up, are 18m each. But there only one section of the cliffs.

    Yeh I guessed that, I just gave the biggest height for a climb and then made up an average for the entire cliff, I'd say I was pretty close though.
