Eamonn O'Connor, Tim Long and Dan Daly, on Howling Ridge - The most spectacular multi-pitch mountaineering routes in Ireland. The iconic climb is a steep well defined ridge starting at the Heavenly Gates (600m) - North-East Face of Carrauntoohil. The climb itself is about 450m in height gain of climbing/scrambling to the summit. It has approximately 8 pitches. The Classic Climb is graded V.Diff, but of course many brave and trusted mountaineers opt for the snowy conditions of winter for an extreme challenge.Photo:Valerie O'Sullivan
