About the Author

David Flanagan is a climber, cyclist, writer and freelance journalist from Dublin, Ireland.

He has been climbing for nearly 20 years, focusing mostly on exploring and developing new bouldering problems and areas across Ireland. From the early days of his climbing career he kept notes and drew topos and maps of his discoveries, eventually documenting them on his website, theshortspan.com. In 2010 he was made redundant from his boring software engineering job and decided that the time was right to publish a proper guide to Bouldering in Ireland. And just over a year later he self-published his first book, Bouldering in Ireland.

He formed Three Rock Books and in late September of 2013 he published his second book Bouldering Essentials. Since then he has published a guide to the best of Irish rock climbing, Rock Climbing in Ireland, and a guide to Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, Exploring Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way.

He has just released (May 2018) Cycling in Ireland, a guide to the best of Irish cycling.
