11 Km Carrauntoohil Hike Ireland | Carlos Segnini

Intro

Carlos Segnini stopped over in Ireland and he climbed Carrauntoohil. The Carrauntoohil is Ireland’s highest mountain reaching 1,039m (3,407 feet). The distance to climb to the summit and back is 12km, and it will take the average walker 6 to 7 hours to complete. Super fit Carlos did it in under 4 hours👍👌😎

Carrauntoohil is popular with mountain walkers, who most commonly ascend via the Devil’s Ladder route; however, Carrauntoohil is also climbed as part of longer mountain walking including the 15-kilometre (9.5 mi) or the 26-kilometre (16 mi) trails.

Interestingly most of the range is held in private ownership and is not part of any Irish national park. Reasonable access is however granted to the public for recreational use.

In the 1950s, a wooden cross was erected on the summit, a privately owned commonage, by the local community. In 1976, the wooden cross was replaced by a 5 m (16 ft 5 in) steel cross. In 2014, the cross was cut down by unknown persons in protest against the Catholic Church but it was re-erected shortly afterwards.
