Located in County Kerry, Carrauntoohil is the central peak of the Mac Gillycuddy's Reeks, Ireland's highest mountain range. A narrow rocky ridge, or arête, to the north, known as the Beenkeragh Ridge, summits The Bones (Na Cnámha), and leads to Ireland's second-highest peak, Beenkeragh (Binn Chaorach) at 1,008 m (3,307 ft). The ridge westward, called the Caher Ridge, also an arête, leads to Ireland's third-highest peak, Caher at 1,000 m (3,300 ft). A third and much wider, but unnamed, south-easterly ridge, or spur, leads down to a col where sits the top of the Devil's Ladder and then rises back up to Cnoc na Toinne 845 m (2,772 ft), from which the long easterly ridge section of the Mac Gillycuddy's Reeks is accessed.
