Storm Frank: Emergency crew braves storm to rescue injured climber Carrauntoohil

In the full teeth of Storm Frank, the Kerry Mountain Rescue team had to make their way up Carrauntoohil, Ireland’s highest mountain, to bring down an injured climber.

Despite the storm forecast, several people set out on both Mangerton and the Reeks yesterday morning.

The team had to make their way up Carrauntoohil, in the Macgillicuddy’s Reeks near Killarney, after being called out at 2.15pm to rescue a man with a broken leg.
