Thousands of pilgrims still climb this mountain every year on Reek Sunday, the last Sunday of July. Even barefoot! You certainly should not underestimate this climb!
Peter Vandermeersch: "I did the climb myself and since then I understand how difficult and exhausting it is, but also how beautiful the reward for the effort is. Once at the top, you have a stunning view over the west of Ireland and over the ocean."
