“A red sky in the morning is a sailors warning”

It certainly proved to be the case yesterday

A group of brave hearts took on the highest mountain in Ireland and battled their way upwards towards O’Sheas gully

At 650m the decision was made to call it off

With massive gusts literally knocking us off our feet and torrential downpours we turned about and headed back down for apple pie and coffee at Cronins yard

It is always a huge disappointment to abandon a summit attempt but in the end safety is first and foremost.

A big word of thanks to all who put in alot of effort and YES we will be back

Unfinished business awaits 👏👏👏
