The goal in this unique Irish mountaineering challenge is to visit any 25 of Ireland's 209 mountain summits within a single Sport Hillwalking season. Each mountain summit is worth a single point in this eight-month-long challenge and can only be counted once.
The 25 Irish Mountains Challenge also gives participants an opportunity to pursue our annual Irish Mountaineer of the Year award. At the end of the Sport Hillwalking season, the man and woman who logs visits to more mountain summits than anyone else using the Peakhunter app will receive the Irish Mountaineer of the Year award.
Peakhunter is our official logging partner.
