"Solo. From Carrauntoohil Youth Hostel. Macgillycuddy's Reeks. After following the ridge between Cruach Mhor and Cnoc an Toine descended to the col at the top of 'The Ladder'. I ascended Caher (3259'), a subsidiary top of Caher (3200'), then went back over the main summit and on to Carrauntoohil (3414' - the highest peak in Eire). Continued to Beenkeragh before descending to the youth hostel. Time: 7hr 50min. The weather was good. It was misty on and off on the summits." — peter43 • Jun 14, 1987
