The Belfast Association of Rockclimbers and Fellrunners and was formed a few years ago (c1991) by Padraig McMallon and Darkness McNiff. The name BARF was actually developed from Arf, Arf which is what Darkie and Paddy used to shout to each other across the heather during their male bonding sessions. Like most clubs BARF started as a small group of people with a common interest, in our case it was climbing and the newly emerging sport of fellrunning.
