The Outdoor Pursuits forum might be a better place for this perhaps?

Have a look at the forecast for this week, its pretty hard up there. Next week may be set to be colder. you would need to be experienced and well equipt to go up with snow and wind. Carrantuohill is a very different mountain to Lughnaquilla.
