Carrantuohill! Great little climb, good for novices. If you aren't used to climbing, though, that was a tough one to start with. Get that money shot with the iron cross? Good job!

Btw, did you guys use Devil's Ladder? Last time we were there, we ended up having to descend that way to help a few climbers that had busted their ankles from all of the loose boulders on DL.
