The Devil's Ladder is the hiking route to Carrauntoohil, Ireland's highest mountain (1,038 meters). What looks like a landslide from a distance is actually the most direct route up to the summit. When the weather is good, climbing the rocks is a great adventure that should only be tackled with sure-footedness and mountain experience. When it rains, the Devil's Ladder (which is rightly named) turns into a waterfall and makes the descent in particular a very slippery and dangerous affair. Don't be fooled by the sunny vibe in the pictures, we actually experienced heavy rain, storms, and even hail. It was all worth it though for the stunning views and wild beauty.
