the land scape and tranquiltty of the mountians is a once and a life time experience the climb was challenaging but worth while.. just to sit down and take in the beautiful surroundings and fresh air the weather can be bad so plenty of waterproof clothes

Done this on a few occasions - it's definitely THE place to be on a sunny clear day in Kerry..no where else like it. The devils ladder is a bit tricky but my advise is take your time...If you haven't done this hike before, get a guide esp if it's a foggy/cloudy day.. Definitely going to do it again this... More

My friend and I made our first ascent on 5th May. We took of in great walking weather and progressed easily to the foot of the Devil's ladder, described as the tourist route up. We took in the wonderful scenary of mountains and plains from our vantage point just before we tackled 'The ladder'. This is no easy option; an... More

This hike can be done in a day, but make sure you get the weather forecast right. Also, if you are not going with a local definitely make sure that you have the necessary basics for hiking sorted. The devils ladder can be a bit of a scare, but it is absolutely worth it.

excellent walk/climb..lovely to see dusting of snow..be careful of mist in early morning..the view from the top was all together wonderful when the sun came and burned off the mist. Defo a walk in summer to see full views

There are so many routes up and down that one is spoilt for choice, from the badly eroded most direct Devils Ladder route to the Zig Zags. Parek up at Lisleibane orhe highly recommened Cronins Yard with its Tea Room. Ensure you have the right gear to cope with the cahnges in weather and footwear....i have seen so many on... More

climbed this twice. I prefer climbing up the Devil's Ladder route than the Caher route. had a great trip but sadly both times that I got to the top, I couldn't see anything. bring food and spare clothes if the weather isn't great. A must do

Meaning to climb this for a long time, so felt a nice sense of satisfaction, when I had done so; got a lovely clear day, so that helped! The Devil's Ladder route, which I took, is badly in need of maintenance work, so one of the alternative routes should be considered. The views from the top are panoramic, though in... More

it takes roughly 1.5 hours on a nice clear day to hike this mountain, very popular hike on boxing day, or st. stephen's day. Devil's ladder is the best way up and down, also beautiful walkway as you ver right away from the main path from cronin's yard. Climb this mountain every time, the view from the top never ceases...
