For a detailed insight, including gear and fitness advice, I highly recommend watching our free informational video. If you’re aiming for treks in other parts of the world, climbing Carrauntoohil with us is a fantastic way to assess your readiness.

It is your responsibility to inform us of any health or fitness issues and any special medication you might be taking.

Please ensure you have enough water (no less than 2 liters), chocolate and/or energy bars, 2 to 4 sandwiches, and for cold days bring a flask with a hot drink.

You will be expanding between 3000 to 4000 calories on the climb and making approximately 25,000 steps.

The climb is strenuous and doable by most fit, healthy people. If you have any concerns or any health or fitness queries, please let us know before the climb! Ring the office and speak to me or one of our Adventure Consultants.

To ensure all the group reaches the summit, we will be climbing at the pace of the slowest team member, as we will have people at different fitness levels on general group climbs.
