by sliabh  22 Jan 2004 This is a view of the Beenkeragh and the ridge from Carrauntoohil on 29/12/2003. There are some more photos of it at: http://sliabh.net/images/ireland/xmas2003/images.php


There was snow to about ankle depth on the ridge, so some extra caution was needed. But it still was very do-able.

by denisdeasy  17 Sep 2003 I love the Reeks ridge route, having done it many times over the years, but for my money the Coomloughra horseshoe offers the best ridgewalking value in terms of reward for effort available in Ireland - the first view of the ridge to Carrauntoohil with An Barr Caol in the background heading off towards Caher just takes the breath away. This photo highlights Carrauntoohil Tooth (959), which can provide a bit of scrambling if desired (by traversing to the col rather than descending & reascending via the obvious path). It was enjoyable in bright sunshine, but I'm sure could be pretty challenging in misty &/or windy conditions.

by csd  20 May 2003 Benkeragh viewed from Skregmore, with the ridge to Carauntoohil on the right. The final approach to the summit of Benkeragh may require some easy scrambling, depending on which route you take. St Patrick's Cabbage in abundance near the summit.

by denisdeasy  17 Sep 2003 Here's a view from the ridge down to the small unnamed (?) lake below 959, past the bluffs of Eagle's nest to Lough Gouragh in the Hags Glen. I'm grinning inanely - must be the altitude combined with sunstroke !

by denisdeasy  17 Sep 2003 Here's the first part of the ridge leading from Beenkeragh - I agree it's pretty hairy looking on first sight, but in good weather it was an exhilarating experience. Caher & 975 (on right) in the background.
