The second year students recently climbed all 535m of Torc Mountain in Killarney.
In a four hour walk we initally climbed the side of Torc waterfall to the top where we joined the Old Kenmare Road until we reached the south side of the Mountain. We then followed the OPW installed trail to the top. The trail is made of a variety of gravel, rock and raised railway sleeper beds.
At the top students were treated on a perfectly clear day to a 360deg panoramic view taking in the Lakes of Killarney, Purple Mountain, McGillycuddy Reeks and the Black Valley, Inch Beach, Mangerton Mountain and County Cork towards Millstreet and Mallow.
