"It was the first of the three major peaks we were hitting up in the UK. As in typical Irish fashion, we had rain. However, the wind and cold is what really made us almost call it. The bogs are muddy and got our feet wet. Waterproof boots and poncho's would come in handy. Poles are extremely helpful through the bog. We took the Carrauntoohil Loop, coming down the Devil's Ladder, which was fun! I'd hate to go up that way, mostly because I'm short. It was foggy at the top, so we didn't get much in the way of a view. None the less, it's still a beautiful hike and lots of fun. We downloaded a gpx and had gps up, especially at the top where the trail was nonexistent and it was hard to see.
First time I've ever seen pink and blue sheep :)" — colleenmarie512 • Sep 2, 2019
"Solo. From Carrauntoohil Youth Hostel. Macgillycuddy's Reeks. After the rocky scramble between Cruach Mhor and Knocknapeasta the ridge becomes broad and grassy. Passed over Maolán Bui to reach Cnoc an Chuilin (3141') and Cnoc an Toine (2776') . Continued to Caher and Carrauntoohil 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
