We went March 2nd and set out from Cronin’s Yard at 8am. The weather and conditions were pretty extreme. There was extreme winds and a snow blizzard at top. Low visibility near the top. Had no gloves but summited at 11:09am. Definitely intermediate-advanced level.

Excursion done by my wife and me in June 2023. Here is the info you need to climb the highest mountain in Ireland. Parking at Cronins park (you enter the park by passing a barrier that opens automatically) costs two euros per car, you pay on the way back by putting 2 euros in the column when you exit and the barrier opens, so it is useful to have the 2 euros in your pocket . From the car park, a pleasant climb begins, walking on an easy path. After about twenty minutes and after having crossed a stream via a bridge, you arrive at the 1st crossroads: continue towards the left (it's difficult to make a mistake because all you have to do is look at the mountain range, it's on the left). From now on there are no other paths that can lead you astray because it takes you straight to the top. After another 50 minutes of comfortable walking, passing near a couple of lakes, you arrive at the beginning of the Devil' Ladder, a gully made of stones and debris, the climb of which takes hikers for about 45 minutes. It's not technically difficult but it's very steep, not pleasant, and you often use your hands to pull yourself up. As soon as you reach the end of the Ladder, turn right 90° and, following the various stone cairns, in about 40 minutes you will reach the top. On the top there is a summit cross and a square made with stones to protect from the wind. I can't describe the view because the weather was a disaster: it was pouring, there was fog, there was a strong wind and it was cold, in short we had terrible bad luck. The return is done either by retracing the same road and hitting the ladder down or by extending it by about 15 minutes (like we did) and going around it via a path. Take this path like this: go back down from the top to the top of the Ladder, don't turn left to go down, but keep straight and climb steeply for about 10 minutes on the designated slope. Follow this clearly visible path (a little exposed in some parts, but with a firm step you can do it easily) and after about 40 minutes you find yourself at the base of the Ladder. On the way out you could also take this path but I assure you that it is very difficult to locate because the area is a messy stony lot, so much so that you have some doubts even about taking the Ladder. Arrived at the base of the Ladder in a good hour or so, calmly, you arrive at the car park. There is a bar/restaurant across the car park that doesn't offer vegan food, they don't even know what it is, like almost all of Ireland. The excursion requires a journey time which is subjective: on average it takes around 6 hours.

Travelled up this route with the fantastic Piaras of Kerry Climbing,they are simply the experts in all things Climbing and The Reeks,the mountain boasts some amazing views accross Kerry on a good day, and is a very enjoyable but strenuous climb.Only to be attempted with propper and correct gear,more than doable with a reasonable level of fitness,do not underestimate the dangers of the mountain and always with a very competant guide.

Came to Ireland to climb our 4th highest peak having done Snowden, Ben Nevis and Scafel. We were lucky and had beautiful weather. Great walk. Loved Jacob’s ladder. Beautiful views at the top. Really enjoyed it. Loved it being less crowded than the more famous other three peaks.
Couple of notes: NO DOGS ALLOWED. We had to find a dog sitter for the day (not very suitable for dogs as it happened).
It is a tough walk - one of the most challenging out of the other peaks we’ve done (think Ben Nevis probably harder) so come prepared.

We have hiked up the three peaks back in 2019. I had found Ben Nevis a real challenge so was looking forward to conquering Carrauntoohil. Fortune was on our side with the weather being glorious, not a drop of rain and mostly sunny. We used Kerry Climbing as guides. I would recommend a guide for this mountain not nearly as many climbers as the mountains in the UK so easier to get lost. Mike was our guide and he was excellent, professional and reassuring. The hike itself was difficult. The devils ladders ascent is tough you will need to scramble up the rocks. This was exhausting and energy sapping and took almost 50 minutes. This climb does require a level of fitness. The final ascent to reach the summit was pretty brutal and tiring. At top there is a big cross. The descent also tough on the knees and I was in acute pain during this. As per normal I would recommend wearing the proper hiking gear, sturdy hike boots and its better to wearing warm clothes covering the entire body, there were plenty of midges and we did not have repellent. Its pretty cold at the top so warm clothes needed. I would also take plenty of fluids we did run out towards the end. I would rank the climb the hardest out of the tallest ones in the UK but was very proud of my children especially my 11 year who completed it without too many tears. There is a car park at the start, however bear in mind although there is a coffee kiosk there are no toilets,

We came over to Ireland from the U.K. as 2 experienced Climbers/walkers to originally walk up Carountoohil, however on doing some research we thought we’d do it by Howling Ridge the classic mountaineering route up the mountain, all I can say is it turned out to be one of the best mountaineering routes up to the summit, my only complaint was that the weather was 24 degrees of sunshine with no wind, so it made it a bit tougher than it should of been.
In my view it was the best way to get to the summit.
However I would recommend doing it with and experienced mountain guide if you are inexperienced.
After we had spent some time on the summit, we descended via the Devils Ladder (Not for the faint hearted, a bit like descending off Milestone butress in Ogwen)
This is also one of the ways to the summit if you are walking it.
All in all a great and memorable adventure

Most people will climb this mountain via the Devil's Ladder, the obvious route. Taking Brother O'Shea's Gully provides a far more interesting way up that enables a good horseshoe walk to be made and breaks the ascent into a far more interesting climb. That said, the path is not clear in all places and when the clouds come down the way is not obvious. So if you choose to do this more rewarding route get a guide such as Kerry Climbing.
