Bouldering. Boulder boulder boulder. It's the bouldering season after all.

Get a pad, download the guide off the shortspan, and head for glendalough on a dry day, weekends you'll have loads of company. Gets your strength up and, if you're going to glendo, gets your technique up as well as glendo is technical.

Then of course there's the Irish Bouldering League which is run over the course of the winter for this exact reason.
