How high is Mont Blanc? Crough Patrick is my highest ha, all 750m! Mind you that was in a singlet and shorts, up in about 40mins and down in about 15!

4800 or thereabouts. Never did CP but I did eat in the restaurant beside it on the way back from Clare Island. Did you run up it:eek:
I did Carrauntoohil at night, had a break for an hour in that shelter they flew up there and then went to the peak at sunrise......aaaand it was cloudy

Great programme. Hard to follow the different accounts of what happened. Must watch it again on RTE player. I climbed the 35th highest mountain once, nearly 4,000m.:D I found it tough going at that. Every few feet you had to stop to catch your breath.

Found it hard to follow myself

Ya run till ya hit the loose scree near the top, its walking with the legs on fire from then on, legs pure jelly doing a loop of the church on the summit, but no time to recover, descend it as hard as you can with falling!

Often criticized Duncan but he deserves a thumbs up for that report

No that's for sure, it's wet ground. I'd say it's better than the shop I tried the other day not even a chip
