Carrauntoohil Summit is the highest mountain in Ireland, standing tall at 1,038.6 meters. Located in County Kerry, it's part of the MacGillycuddy's Reeks range and offers stunning views of U-shaped valleys and deep corries. The summit is marked by a steel cross, replacing a wooden one that was cut down in 2014. Despite its beauty, the steep faces of Carrauntoohil can be dangerous, so caution is advised when exploring this majestic peak.
