Great hike. The devils ladder is a steep scramble with some loose rock. Quickest way up but your legs will know all about it. From the devils ladder to the sumit it loose stone. The temperature drops at the top of the ladder even on...More

I made sure to catch this on my trip. I am an avid hiker and do not shy away from a challenge. This is more than a casual day hike. Proper planning and preparation should go into this trip. Go to All Trails for a...More

A group of 8 of us went from Cronins Yard (€2) to park your car. Left at 9.15 and it took 4 hours to climb. Our guide was a friend who is extremely experienced. It is a climb and definitely not a hike. We went...More

We went from Cronins Yard which is about 16 km outside Killarney. There is a cafe, restrooms and showers there. Navigating your way up and down is pretty easy but the climb itself is hard. The start of the climb is an easy 3k walk...More

I did not climb the peak but it is the highest in the country and is surrounded by the second and third largest peaks in Ireland. I drove by them heading north from Waterville to the Gap of Dunloe
