Aug 2010 – (with Gemma) – Ascent from Hydropath via Coomloughra. Roasting hot day and the initial steep ascent following the hydro path was gruelling. Arrived at the intimidating glacial bowl of Coomloughra, before ascending steeply towards Beenkeragh. Here, we waited, and the mist cleared to reveal the infamous Beenkeragh Ridge which links Beenkeragh to Carrantuohill. Excellent, and at times, exposed ridge and we finally arrived at Carrantuohill for the second time that week. We then completed the horseshoe via Caher, before rejoining the hydro path, by which time I had developed an incapacitating electric shock in my leg. Worrying signs?
