Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Cruach Mhór" in English language version.
Simply, the finest mountain traverse in Ireland with 7 summits over 3000 ft. From Kate Kearney's Cottage, in the Gap of Dunloe, to Doire na Féinne and Loch a' Chúis
Intimidating looking pinnacles now bar the way to the Big Gun, but generally the handholds are sound and surprisingly quickly you will be standing on the tiny summit. Regarded as the most difficult to reach of Ireland's major mountaintops, it offers the comforting thought that the crux of the route is now behind.
The grotto on Cruach Mhor. This was built by a local farmer who dragged the cement, sand and water up from his home in the valley on his back! An act of devotion or madness? Madness actually as I was told the poor man ended up in St Brendan's lunatic asylum in Killarney. The statue is usually shattered by winter weather but someone still replaces it with a new one every year.
The list of peaks of 3000ft or more within the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland outside (furth) of Scotland. There are currently 34 Furths.
