Superb Winter Mountaineering conditions have taken a grip on the Wicklow mountains in recent weeks. Wicklow Mountain Rescue teams have been advising against going high in the hills without Winter skills and equipment.
On Easter Monday crampons and ice axe were essential pieces of kit in order to get to the summit of Lugnaquilla safely even by normal, standard walking routes. The upper sections of the mountain are covered in ice, snow thawed and refrozen.
Terrific opportunities for anyone to gain further Winter skill experience.
Winter conditions are set to continue for most of this week.
