Clare Sheridan

Clare Sheridan is Ireland’s best known female climber and her climbing memoir Uncoiling the Ropes has been recognised as a classic of mountaineering literature. She featured in the documentary Calvin and Clare (available online) along with her husband and climbing partner Calvin Torrans.
Her second memoir,  A Faithful Girl,  deals with her childhood in West Cork and teenage years in a convent boarding school where the lure of spiritual martyrdom almost persuaded her to commit to convent life for good. She is a retired primary school teacher and when not away on climbing trips, lives in Bray, Co Wicklow.
