Isn't Caher the 3rd highest?  Is it in the Reeks as well?

Got my shifts changed so I'm good to go. Who all's doing the howling ridge?

I'm going to do an alternative route with Lenny.  Still to be decided.  I'm meeting with Lenny on Monday night and will be bringing my maps of the area.  Hopefully we can decide on a route then.

Nice one... I wouldn't have a clue were to start and haven't got a scrap of gear (Cause it's not available in Camo).  Think I'll be taking the tourist route, if there is such a thing on Carrauntoohil.  If I get to the top before you and Chris, which I would like to think I will, I'll be able to get some cracking photos of your accent looking down.  :)

I'm planning on camping too.  Probably Bivvi again like last week on Chimney Rock.  I haven't had a minute to really think about places to wild camp or anything yet.  I'm also happy to wild camp the whole thing rather than starting in Fossa like originally suggested.  Depends on what time we get down on the Friday night. We'll have 7 hours to work out routes and finer details on the journey down if nothing is decided before hand.
