To the Ring of Kerry to McGillicuddy's Reeks for the last mountain of the Trip. Carrantoohil is the highest mountain in Ireland. There is a 25 foot high cross at the summit, so seeing it from a distance is very easy to do... climbing it on the other hand is a different story.
We started our climb on The Hydro Track road to the junction of a lake named Lough Eighter. Then it was up to the summit of Caher West Top. Then the climb consisted of walking this ridge line and summiting the following mountains:
Caher-West Top 3199'
Caher 3284'
Carrantuohill 3409'
Beenkeragh 3314'
Stumpa Barr na hAbhann 2792'
Skregmore 2782'
Skregmore West Top 2450'
After descending Skregmore West Top we ended up back at the Lough Eighter junction. The last half of the loop was semi technical, but very rewarding. This is the most summits I have ever attained in one day. This climb was 9 miles round trip.
That's all international for now, time to climb back in the states...
