The Scalp

Ireland East,

The Scalp (GR O 215 201) is a narrow rocky valley on the Dublin/Wicklow border between Enniskerry and Kilternan. The Scalp probably doesn’t live up to its first impression however there is some decent bouldering and it’s close to Dublin. The rock is featured and blocky unlike most of the Wicklow granite. This creates some fingery and steep problems. Standout problems include Gen Tilly, Gully’s Problem, Bottlebank, Primer, Dark Angle and Hollytree Roof.
