Today on my day off…
Eoin, Scotty and I climbed Mount Carrauntuohill, the highest mountain in Ireland. (1038 m, 3406 feet)It took us just under 7 hrs... we did a ridge around the three peaks.
Both boys took a batch of excellent photos as well, this is a little peak of mine.
I am so tired typing is an effort. So. Enjoy. More words and photos to come, post-sleep, pre-trip.
En route.

My feet. On the way down around the ridge line... half bowl to the left.
Good thing I didn't stop to read this on the way up! Are there any more requirements?
Holly! Do you have “holes in your head” or should I say “ears”, for climbing something THIS dangerous!! Really… it does look awesome and so do you!!! It won’t be long until we blog you from the east… not as far east as you… but Toronto! The center of the universe… ha! By the way… CONGRATULATIONS Sarah Dukovac! What exciting news. All the best to you and Alvin!
Breath-taking photos Hol. I can’t believe your living these adventures everyday*sigh*. You’re getting me all nostalgic*giggle*: My fondest memory of Ireland was getting roadblocked (while cycling)by sheep*hahah*.
And I get mention from your Canadian mom?! Thanks!! We are awfully excited:-) Best of luck in TO…I know you’ll both find much excitement.
Hugs!!!
Hooray … you climb the mountains in ireland and I will climb the corporate mountains in calgary…! going with the analyst boys whitewater rafting tomorrow – will keep them in line. LOVE you so much!!
Way to go HMH…what is your next big challenge or hurdle? I knew my home land had to be beautiful. Keep sending those pictures. Congrats to the whole Dukovac family…any other blog readers your can post as well…if Canadian Dad can do it – YOU can…
Holly, you bad girl! You are scaring your poor mama! Get down from there!
Two more sleeps in our house. I can’t believe it. I feel like I am climbing some mountains, just like you! I won’t sit on the roof though and take a picture of my feet dangling off the edge! Glad you are having peace and quiet working instead of the chaos of 415 rocky Ridge Drive!
Hello Holly “Viking” Higgins!
Those pictures look amazing! What a great thing to do on your day off and with great company too! The little leader house and watering holes look inviting as well. How is BR treating you? What is your next adventure? I got out camping over the weekend west of Rocky Mnt House. It was great to get out of the city. Hope to talk to you soon,
