These mountains and Highpoints are on The Gribbon List, they will be part of the total metres for my Ten Thousand Metre Challenge, a fundraiser for Mountain Rescue Ireland, you can support by donating at High Point Ireland 10,000m Challenge 2017 fundraiser page.
We wanted to mark "Ireland High Points Week", an initiative Kieron Gribbon of High Point Ireland came up with to help promote the sport of Highpointeering in Ireland. The aim of the week, centred around the longest day, 21 June, is to visit Gribbon locations throughout Ireland and to share stories, photos and videos using the hashtag #IrelandHighPointsWeek. Initially we intended on getting a climb in on 21st of June to mark the week but with a bit of planning we managed to visit a different Gribbon Location every day of Ireland High Points Week.
