John Finn on Cnoc an Chuillinn, 2006
by John Finn  30 Apr 2006
On 29th April 2006 I walked the Eastern Reeks. I started from Cronin's farmhouse and came up the Hag's Glen. Cloud cover seemed set to deny me the views that I hoped for but as I reached the top of the Devil's Ladder sunshine broke through and there were some fantastic cloud inversion vistas to enjoy. This is from Cnoc an Chuillin looking across at Caher, Carrauntoohill and Beenkeragh. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/8/comment/2310/
