    Hi All,

    I want to climb/scramble/walk a mountain tomorrow and Im sick of Carrauntohill and Galtymore.

    Im wondering which Mountain in Kerry,Cork,Galway or Tipperary to climb.

    I am considering Mount Brandon.

    Any others you suggest and a link to some information would be great as well.(saving my energy for tomorrow). :D

    Thanks in advance.

    The Brandon ridge is good.

    It was pretty easy. Much more interesting that Galtymore and not as much scrambling as Carrauntohill. I'll definately go back WHEN I CAN ACTUALLY SEE SOMETHING OTHER THAN FOG/MIST!!

    Very rare up there.

    I like Mullaghanattin, and the Dunkerrons in general that extend south west from there. Excellent scenery, some nice ridges and scrambles, a nice testing hillwalk.
