Nine full-time mountain guides. Peak specialists, ridge walkers, high-altitude cooks. Each one knows exactly one Irish mountain range very well.
Has walked the full Iveragh ridge traverse in every month of the year. Knows every high pass, every summit view, every weather pattern at altitude. Makes mountain camp dinners that taste like home.
Grew up herding sheep on Benbaun at 700m. Fluent in high mountain weather and exposed ridge navigation. The calmest guide on a summit ridge in bad visibility.
Alpine botanist who specializes in high-altitude ecology. Can name every plant growing above 500m and knows which ridge gets the best light at sunset.
Travels with three knives and an unreasonable amount of good food. Has cooked three-course meals in high mountain bothies at 600m altitude.
Former mountain ranger on Ireland's highest sea cliffs. Knows the One Man's Pass exposed ridge in every weather — wind, rain, mist, and rare clear days.
