CLIFF 2025

The Climbing Ireland Film Festival 2025 took place on May 10th at The Loft, in Rascals Brewing Company, Dublin.

The event screened 13 films featuring a variety of locations, climbing types, film genres, and more!

The Loft was full to the brim as audience members crowded in to see the films. Rascals offered a wide selection of drinks and delicious pizza, as well as a cool seating and lighting setup.

Attendees also had the opportunity to purchase CLIFF 2025 t-shirts designed by Daryna Krupa, a copy of The Irish Climbs magazine, or some second hand gear at the Gear Swap.
