No worries Mike..! It was a bit hairy at times    Great having you along.  It'll be a while before I stop talking about this one.

Do me a favour mate... PM me your home address and I'm gonna post you out a USB Pen for your photos... I didn't take as many as normal because my camera was stuck in the ruck for most of the ridge.  Can't wait to see yours.

Crackin' trip lads good to meet you as well lenny. The Howling Ridge was awesome, even had a few epics with a run away gas canister and a good bit of rock fall to keep us on our toes! Stuck my piccies up on flickr if you fancy a look.

[LennyJ1]

Very well done guys.

So how did you get up there....shimmy up the 'pole' or ropes through the end of the cross bar?

ps. You sure that's the real Dowser? He seems to be 'with shirt'? Was it that cold?

[666_pack]

see what happens when summit fever and buckfast combine.

Grat trip guys hope to see you all soon.

[NeilB]

There was something missing in the photos until I seen the bottles of buckfast then it was a proper ni wild trip!

Good going guys and great pics looks like good time had by all, Chris/Gareth what was the climb like on the ridge?

[MG1]

The ridge was great but the rock was very loose,other than that its a great climb.

Great time guys

'Bout ye Chuck...  We created a Bear Grylls rope ladder for getting up and ditched it for the photo.  Shimmied back down... Not a pleasant experience for the old under crackers I have to say!!!

I can assure you it was the real Dowser... I actually put my shirt on for most of the photos... We're trying to attract new members to the site not scare them away... I'm sure MikeD will have a few shots of the Naked Hiker on his camera, but they will be posted in the "XXX Photo Section" of the site for Gold Members only

Me, Dowser and mikeD took this bad boy

the Cruach Mhór Ridge on our way to Carrauntoohil. I had to find a proper photo of it as while we were on it there was  bloody hail stones and zero Viz.

Well done guys by the way. We'll never look at the Mournes in the same way.
