"Originally Heading in the wrong direction , i came across a few people walking by , who pointed out i heading the opposite way as there are many mountains in the vicinty . Finally with the directions gained i started off my hike Torc mountain base was a good 20-30 minute walk from the car park . I finally found the famous boardwalks and started my ascent . An absolutely beautiful hike , unbelievable views & well maintained pathway from bottom to summit ." — Mark-Mountain-Sheehan • Aug 20, 2022

"I Knew the way I stated to my friend but he was adamant taking a different route that brought us away from Torc waterfall & towards the ring of Kerry . We ventured up the 500 steps & came to sign Danger do not take this route , area unstable . But sure we thought why not Got some great views ran into a dead end on the rear side of the mountain, too dangerous to go any further . Lost too much time exploring and ended turning back . Will be doing again but the right way haha . " — Mark-Mountain-Sheehan • Dec 11, 2021

"Myself and group of friends decided to climb the biggest mountain in Ireland . With an orange weather warning in place it was advised not to hike that day (Kerry Search & Rescue) but we did . The conditions were atrocious Rain , High winds , Hail . We made our way to the devil's Ladder & It was tough nut was only the beginning of a great Battle to the summit . Would definitely do it again , Just make sure to have hiking boots & plenty of water . " — Mark-Mountain-Sheehan • Aug 23, 2021

"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
