No worries Mike..! It was a bit hairy at times  :P  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.

And what do you mean photoshop!? What makes you think I could climb the whole ridge and then struggle to climb a 15ft cross!

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?

'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  ;D

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.
