Ireland's highest mountain carrantuohill is located
in Killarney. Carrantuohill, known as Corrán Tuathail
in the Irish language, located in County Kerry, is the highest peak in
Ireland. It is 1,039 m tall and is the central peak of the
Macgillicuddy's Reeks range. The mountain is most often climbed from
the north, along the Hag's Glen and then up the steep Devil's Ladder.
The route has become dangerous in recent years due to loose stones and
crowding. No special equipment is needed to climb the mountain.
Alternatively, one can walk the two other 1,000 m peaks in a
horseshoe trip, starting from the west.
