This mountain day is perfect for:

• Adventurous walkers with a good level of fitness who want a proper challenge

• Those looking to tick off the highest peak in Ireland

• People who enjoy rugged terrain and a rewarding summit day

• Walkers who thrive in small groups with personalised guidance

Fitness level: A good level of fitness is required. You should be comfortable walking 12 km with 1,038 m of ascent. Previous hill-walking experience is recommended.

We meet at Cronin’s Yard and follow the classic Devil’s Ladder route up to Carrauntoohil. The path takes you through creeks and steep terrain before reaching the rocky summit. After enjoying the views and the iconic cross, we descend the same route back to the start point.

May weather in the Reeks can be changeable — it may be mild at the base but cold, windy, or wet on the summit. Layers and proper waterproofs are essential. Full weather and kit guidance is provided in your Welcome Pack after booking.

• All trips are led by qualified and experienced guides

• We carry group first aid kits, emergency shelter and communication devices

• Safety briefing at the start of every trip

• We adjust the pace for the group and turn back if conditions require it

• Full risk assessment and Leave No Trace principles followed on every walk
