Walking Club Promotion

To launch the second year of my Outdoor Training Business I am running a Promotion for Walking Clubs.

Six people from your Walking Club are invited to do a Free Day of Navigation Training in Kerry.

The day is COMPLETELY FREE. All you have to do is travel to Kerry. I need between four and six people to run a course for you.

I am hoping this Promotion will promote Safety, Training and Self Sufficiency in the Mountains. I am also hoping that it will encourage participation on Mountain Skills Courses.

Promotion Dates are limited so early booking is vital.

For further details contact me on 086 860 45 63 or www.outdoorsireland.com.

Hag's Tooth Ridge

This is a stunning and exciting ridge, which climbs steeply up to Beenkeragh, in the Macgillycuddy Reeks, giving great views of Carrauntoohil.

It begins with an easy scramble up a grassy gully to the base of The Pinnacle. The Pinnacle is a towering buttress of rock, 650 metres high. There are five pitches of rock climbing to reach the top of the Pinnacle. The climbing is challenging in places and involves some delicate moves! The top of the Pinnacle is the size of a table and can fit two or three people.

There are one or two abseils or traverses beyond the Pinnacle, as you descend 50 metres. Beyond that the Hag’s Tooth Ridge climbs again steeply up a series of rock steps and broken rocky ground to the summit of Beenkeragh.

Level 2 Kayak Proficiency

Level 2 Kayak Proficiency Course on Caragh Lake, near Killorglin, last weekend. This was an official Irish Canoe Union Course, covering all the Basic Strokes, Rescues and Group Awareness needed to kayak safely on Flat Water as part of a group.

Curve Ridge

Curve Ridge, in the Macgillycuddy Reeks, is a fairly steep rock climb on the north face of Carrauntoohil. It climbs up a rock buttress, which separates Curve Gully and Central Gully.

The climbing on Curve Ridge is very good, although there are a lot of large loose rocks to be aware of. It is a series of steep or slightly overhanging walls separated by easier scrambling. There are four or five pitches of climbing; surrounded by amazing views of tall peaks and a great feeling of exposure.
