After the success of our Carrauntoohil Summer Solstice Night Climb we're running two more Carrauntoohil Night Climbs, on both Saturday 7th August and Saturday 21st August.
We're also running a Night Navigation Workshop on Saturday 28th August, designed to give you the skills to map read and navigate across the hills in darkness.
Carrauntoohil Night Climb
Make an exciting and unique night ascent of Carrauntoohil, in darkness with head torches and guides. Stand on the summit of Ireland's highest mountain at dawn to savour the early morning calm and hopefully sunrise over the MacGillycuddy Reeks... After descending Carrauntoohil in the dawn light, enjoy a huge freshly cooked breakfast in Killarney.
Meet at midnight just outside Killarney for registration and gear check. Then drive to the base of Carrauntoohil for a four to five hour walk to the summit. Relax on the summit to watch the sun rise over the Gap of Dunloe and MacGillycuddy Reeks at approximately 5am, weather permitting. Descend down through glaciated corries and high cliffs and finish this unique experience with a huge freshly cooked breakfast in Killarney at approximately 9am.
