Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What an unforgettable experience. We were a family group of three adults and two children aged 7 and 9. The adults had done a very small amount of climbing many years ago and the children had done a little indoor climbing only.
We did two climbs each and an abseil using the crags on powillimount beach. Dan was friendly, calm, funny and patient, putting us all at ease. We all enjoyed every minute and also spent quite a bit of time afterwards on the stunning vast beach- mix of sand, rock pools shale, something for everyone.
Booking process was easy, just contacted him on WhatsApp and it was very good value for money.
If you are wondering whether to try this, go for it!
