Carrantoohill
Dunloe
About
Carrantoohill (3411ft) is Ireland's tallest peak. Although its height appears pretty tame by world standards, Carrantoohill should never be taken lightly. Even locals would not attempt to make the climb without an experienced guide the first few times. Foolhardy and adventuresome tourists keep the Kerry Mountain Rescue Service busy during the summer months. Weather on the mountain can be quite changeable with sudden mists making visibility impossible. In such conditions it is easy to lose the trail. Expert guides from Cappanalea Outdoor Education Centre offer supervised climbs.
