Gorgeous shot!! You must have had some climb. Really nice to see this, Id never make it this far myself :)

Thanks click_click but I didn't climb it since I'm not fit or experienced enough and I believe that its becoming more treacherous to climb due to a number of false paths that have appeared recently. I walked to were the ascent starts (Hag's Glen).

:) still more than I would attempt, esp in weather like that!! I love that slope of snow in the mid right of the shot.

Beautiful! I like the light blue heaven behind the dark mountain with this interesting snow texture.

@Claude@Munich not as much snow as you've been getting in Munich
:-) Your snow photos are beautiful!

Oh no, I'm climbing that next weekend as the last peak in the 4 Peaks Challenge, what have I let myself in for? (nice pic by the way)

Seems like they've left the best till last... Twas hailstoning in Kerry last weekend (as big as buttons apparently) ... Best of Luck on the day and after 3 peaks done, the last should be as easy as a walk in the park as they say!!!

I'm also adding an Irish group soon, hope you'll add it to that one. It'll be invite only, I'll try and get it up when I go to Ireland for study abroad soon. I'll send you the invite then, thanks again, awsome picture.
