I had been waiting for this hike ,The Coomloughra Horseshoe in the events calendar since I hiked Carrantoohill last summer.I wasn't disappointed! We got the full experience thanks to the irish weather. I tend to hike a lot solo but this time opted to use Kerry Climbing guides, and was I glad I did. Piaras and Orlaith were great and welcoming from the start. Full of interesting info along the way and made it fun while prioritising safety. Highly recommended 👌

We joined the Kerry Climbing group for their guided hike up the Devils Ladder to Carrauntoohill. Our guide Piaras was fantastic feeding us with great historical and geographical information the whole hike. The hike itself can be tricky at times however was taken with great ease. Would highly recommend climbing Carrauntoohill with the Kerry Climbing company.

Best guided hike experience, I highly recommend KerryClimbing. The group was fantastic and pace perfect. Our guide Piaras was fabulous and had loads to share about the mountains which added a beautiful element to the hike. I loved every minute of this hike, this mountain range is probably my best in Ireland so far. I found dealing with KerryClimbing professional on all accounts from the moment I reached out on Instagram to the email detail. I will definitely return for more guided hikes with them. Thank you Piaras, I really experienced your love of the mountains. The day was what I call a "Soul Shine Sunday".

We’d booked this trip a few months back as a way to celebrate our joint 40th birthdays. It did not disappoint! A trek to remember and one we will do again. So glad we booked with Kerry Climbing and we couldn’t have had a better more experienced guide in Piaras…Piaras as they say in your home county of Cork…you’re a legend! :) We’ll be back to do the Coomloughra Horseshoe in the future!

Piaras, Orlaith and little Tiernan were great guides! We had a great day and they were on hand whenever we felt wobbly - literally! Couldn't recommend this trip more - not for the faint of heart though. It exceeded all of my expectations, do it!

My second time leaning on the experienced guides of Kerry Climbing. On the previous it was mine and a daughters first climb with Piaras and Orlaith. This time it was Neil who guided three dads with three sons! Neil was excellent and really helped the kids along the way with keeping an eye on the older kids! The weather was not so kind but we all had a very enjoyable climb and memorable experience. The next time I'm going to try O'Shea's Gully and call on Kerry Climbing to lead the way! Highly recommend day out and very safe hands!!

What an excellent experience! Our four-person party was greeted at the start by a very enthusiastic and friendly Pearse. After a quick check on our kit and some general advice - we were off. I highly recommend KERRYCLIMBING - especially if it's your first time going up Carrauntoohil and/or if the weather is challenging. The ascent/decent along the devil's ladder, while exciting can also be a bit intimidating. So having an experienced guide is very reassuring. Pearse is also a member of the local rescue team - with some very interesting storis to tell. Despite the weather at the top - Pearse ensured that we got all the photos we needed. There was even 'Irelands highest birthday party' sing song for one of our party.....very funny, despite the near horizontal rain! Many thanks to Pearse and KERRYCLIMBING for a great day!

Last minute decision to go and I couldn't be happier I did. I felt so safe with Pierce and got to join a lovely group of other hikers. This trip made my holiday

Fantastic time up O'Sheas Gully. There were 3 of us and Piaras, the Tour guide, who was the best. I would highly recommend. Definitely make sure you are in good shape.

I went on a solo trip and met with our guide at Cronin's yard, our guide Piaras was fantastic from beginning to end. Guided us up and down safely, while telling stories and history. Highly recommend Kerry Climbing and will definitely book again!

I was turning 40, looking for something memorable and enjoyable to do on the day, and thought, 'What could be better than to climb Corrán Tuathail with Kerry Climbing?!' And I was right! The experience was an absolute treat. Guide Piaras, myself and three other lovely people hit off on a wet and windy day, which only added to the climb. Piaras was encouraging, fun, and full of information about the area, and always safety conscious. Piaras led a rendition of happy birthday at the top, giving me what must have been the highest birthday party in Ireland that day! And between a Kerry Climbing badge, and a Corrán Tuathail buff, there were presents aplenty too. I can't wait to go back and try another route up with Kerry Climbing. If you're contemplating it, don't hesitate. Fun and memories guaranteed.

We were guided up O'Sheas Gully by Piaras on Nov 2nd. We are a family of four, 2 adults and 2 girls (14, 11) as part of a group of 7. Piaras set the tone from the beginning for what was to be a friendly, informative trek on an amazingly picturesque route up the highest mountain in Ireland. It was an amazing day - the group were great, Piaras is full of knowledge and chat and it made for an amazing day that we will never forget, especially as we all sang my wife Happy Birthday at the summit. Thank you Kerry Climbing.

Loved our climb yesterday guided by Neil. He’s friendly and easygoing but also very attentive to the group’s safety. It was wet and cold up there but still worth it! We were a small mixed group including some children and Neil managed to pitch the pace and stories to suit us all. We’ll definitely be back when the skies are clearer!

This was my second time climbing with Piaras from Kerry climbing and it was an amazing experience once again. Conditions change quickly climbing so having a the guidance from Piaras makes a huge difference in terms of safety and enjoyment. The group dynamic adds a lot too. I’ll be back next year!

Would highly recommend KerryClimbing, Piaras and Neil were extremely knowledgeable as well as being really sound and knew exactly how to pace the hike to best suit the group. We were incredibly lucky to have such a clear day in October. Would definitely book another day out in the future!

I did a guided tour up and down with Piaras as our guide. He was a great guide full of information and encouragement and of course jellies!! We had a beautiful day for the climb and got great views from the top. I would recommend kerry climbing to anybody who wants to climb Carrauntoohil. I will definitely be using Kerry climbing again. Keep up the good work.
