Howling Ridge on Carrauntoohil




Last weekend I climbed Howling Ridge, on Carrauntoohil, with the team from Outsider Magazine. Cold, clear and fresh conditions prevailed throughout the day, with the thick cloud obliterating everything below us every half-hour. After six hours of vertical climbing we reached the summit of Carrauntoohil at 4:30pm and descended the Devil's Ladder, using head-torches for the final 30 mins.
