- 'A Feather in the West' is about Owey, the wild, Atlantic frontier island just off the west coast of County Donegal.
There is a perception that the opportunity to etch your name into the guidebooks by developing a world class crag, is basically gone, that all the good lines were climbed years ago.
But the reality isn’t so: In September 2019, a team of talented Irish climbers -Chloe Condron, Kevin Kilroy, Michelle O'Loughlin and Conor McGovern] -travelled to the small island of Owey to explore sea cliffs that local guidebook writer Iain Miller, claims have “enough new routing potential to last at least twelve lifetimes”.
Despite its proximity to the mainland, Owey retains an ethereal otherworldly charm that harks back to the peacefulness and simplicity of life in bygone days. It’s also home to majestic granite sea cliffs that have been scoured pristine by huge ocean swells leaving awe-inspiring cliffs for adventurous climbers to enjoy.

Best climbing film ive watched in years. One of the best i’ve ever watched. On many levels. I cannot believe this is free to watch. Its breathtakingly good. On many levels. Thank you for sharing this with us. One love ✌🏼
What a cracking video. Lovely cinematography, music and thoroughly likeable people as well. Humble happy people trying hard and having an absolute blast. Belter
Everything about this film is amazing. So well done. I live in the US, but would most certainly travel to climb there. Ireland has some amazing climbing to offer. Owey & Inis Mór are on my life list.
I absolutely love this film. The camaraderie was so awesome. The music was perfect.
This is my third time watching this - great to see the Irish climbing scene so well represented, especially with Iain Miller at the helm.
Wonderful film, wonderful rock! Thanks for this. I never climbed harder than E1/E2 (and not many of those!) , but it reminded me of great days in my youth on Cornish granite doing my best to get up a route which was a challenge for me. The total experience of the sea, the rock, being at your limit in every way, and fighting through to the top. Well done!
Amazing ! So beautiful. Truely captures what climbing for regular folk is like.
well, NOW I'm homesick...absolutely superb
Loved it. Captured the colours of that granite beautifully....among other things of course!
what a beautifully made film. Well done everyone!
Fantastic to see some rad Irish climbing getting broadcast. Go raibh míle maith agaibh lads.

Fantastic! One of the best climbing films I've ever seen. Потрясающе! Один из лучших фильмов, посвящённых скалолазанию, на мой взгляд. Thanks a lot to all participants and operators! Огромное спасибо всем участникам и киношникам!
dude, hope you were joking about using bolts on that clean rock face. in genera, seems like you're really protection heavy. the opposite of pure climbing.
Great film, one of the best climbing films I've seen. Captures the spirit and fire of discovery and adventure, love it
I just can't believe that people travel there from all around the world to climb in the rainiest country in Europe...
Holy smokes! What a link up midnight lobster into storm Rider would be!! Absolutely world class guys! Next summers trad trip, might even wipe the floor with harris from this year! Strong effort folks!
I'm very inspired , great efforts all round , sometimes you just can't speak 👍

One of the best UK based rock climbing films I've seen in AGES - so worth watching! SO INSPIRING - have shared !
It's not based in the UK. Ireland is not in the UK. A welsh person should know better.
