Hiking the Highest Mountain in Ireland: Climbing Carrauntoohil | WATCH ME SEE

In October 2017 I solo hiked the highest mountain of Ireland: Carrauntoohil, which stands at 1,038m tall! Watch how I got on and what views awaited me at the summit - and check out my full blogpost with route description, packing list and more: www.watchmesee...

I would also recommend Nephin in Co.Mayo. Highest standalone mountain in Ireland. Done it back in September up and over.

Climbed Carrauntoohil for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Great video that shows for the casual climber like me that the 'Devils Ladder' should not be under estimated. It's a tough scramble up there. If it's any comfort, I'd similar views from the top - i.e none. Alas - but so pleased I did it and actually found getting down the ladder marginally harder that getting up it.

[@paulward4417]

You gotta go back and climb it through o sheas gully. A way cooler route than the ladder.

[@nornironnomad]

I climbed this last year, the devils ladder certainly was a challenge for us as it had been raining heavily the day before so there was a lot of water! You have a new subscriber 🙂

[@hiberniantraveller]

Hi! 😊 I am planning to climb this Mountain next week for a travel vlog! I came across your video! Thank you for vlogging your experience and showing how it will be going up! Well done! All the best! 🍀👏

[@MATravel]

Beautiful 😍 tremendous videos and a great inspiration for beginners like us 🥰

[@garymclaughlin4457]

If you get a chance please climb Errigal in west Donegal. Spectacular volcano like mountain. Enjoyed your video.

[@WatchMeSee]

I was actually going to visit the area in April - but had to cancel my trip. I'll make sure to plan in an extra day for the hike! :)

[@JimBobele]

lol - That's exactly the same view I had on my 2 hikes up the Ben Nevis ;-) Carrauntoohill is still on my list. Happy Hiking

[@WatchMeSee]

Oh no, that's such a shame! But I bet it still felt great getting to the top regardless. Maybe the third time is the charm :D

[@WorldHeritageJourney]

Hey it could be worse - I spent a week climbing Kilimanjaro only to have much the same view from the top 😂😂

[@WatchMeSee]

But you made it to the top - go you! I gave up at 5,000m because I simply felt too terrible... My dad made it though and I'm soo proud of his accomplishment! Hiking is all about the process isn't it?

[@WorldHeritageJourney]

Absolutely! It's a tough climb but the whole journey was fun too :)

[@WatchMeSee]

Agreed! I was a bit sad I didn't reach the top, but I still got to spend all these days on the mountain and made incredible experiences - still worth it!

[@annexplores3933]

Enjoy your video. Thanks for showing us around. Well done Kathi. Been searching some mountains in Ireland..and your video pop up. Just walked to Croagh Patrick few days ago...So this mountain will I have to think of next..hahha.. Waving from Northern Ireland.

[@WatchMeSee]

So glad to hear you enjoyed the video! I wish I could have hiked more on my trip :)

[@dylanmcgowan3737]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Living in Dublin my whole life and have yet to do this.. Definitely this year!

[@Spoofkill]

Cant wait to give this a go. Sorry it was so Cloudy! Would love to have a taste of the view at the top of My country.

[@TacticalBe]

Now is the perfecy time to go, witht his clear weather we're getting. The view from the top is beautiful.

[@forevercalmireland]

it's a great video! Thanks.. ;-)

[@kevrockism]

Brilliant well done

[@Larstig81]

I climbed the Crough Patrick 2 years ago and I also got the same view. It was not in July though.

[@musicfanatic2009]

Nice video, Carrauntwohill view is not great anyway on a good day. Its blocked by most of the reeks. Recommend mangerton outside killarney if you're in Ireland again.

[@wendymurphy7905]

See you in 2 weeks….Big Mountain ⛰ Great Video 🙂

[@derrickmurphy9988]

Well done .maybe tis summer I will tackle it always wanted to do it.thank u.

[@rileyqueenan7388]

[@tspiv]

[@maxpower1337]

[@mairepcod4063]

Thanks,

[@BeautifulSouls]

Just Subbed Love Your Content And I Am Supporting Your Channel Great VLOG :-) Thanks And Subbed

[@DarraghC]

well done :)

[@NateMeetsWorld]

Bummer that was cloudy at the top. Also seems like I missed you at TBEX Ireland as well. Did you get to hike in any other places in Ireland?

[@WatchMeSee]

Yeah, I had imagined it a bit differently when I planned the hike, but hey ;) Unfortunately I had to go home the day after this hike, so no other adventures in Ireland as of yet... Did you enjoy TBEX?

[@NateMeetsWorld]

Yes I really enjoyed it! I'm thinking about going to the next TBEX Europe in Ostrava this summer. Maybe I will see you there.

[@WatchMeSee]

I'm not sure I'll be going yet - I'm in my final year of a PhD and will probably have to reduce travel to visiting family and proper relaxing getaways :) Would be nice though - I haven't been to the Czech Republic in ages!

[@laurencepayne5664]

Is it cold? I'm going in March and I get cold easily what should I wear in terms of coats or jackets

[@WatchMeSee]

It's difficult to tell as the weather can change quickly in the mountains and it's hard to predict far in advance. I hiked this in October and stayed in short sleeves until I made it to the top of the Devil's Ladder. Then I put on a fleece and rain jacket as the weather got worse. I get really warm when I hike on steep slopes. Having enough layers to keep you warm when it's flat, you're resting or it's windy is important. Have a great trip!

[@laurencepayne5664]

@@WatchMeSee thank you!

[@dermotpurcell8861]

You put a lot of people to shame for not climbing that mountain.

[@georgecarmody8731]

Official CTR shut your mouth, you take pictures of aeroplanes you weirdo.
