About this Event
Mountaineering Ireland’s annual Women With Altitude event is back and bigger than ever in 2026! Women from all over the country will be gathering in the beautiful setting of the Wicklow Mountains with a base in Ballinacor Community Centre Carriglinneen, Co. Wicklow, for a weekend of adventure for all women interested in hillwalking and climbing. ‘Find Your Way" is the theme of this year’s event, and there will be plenty of opportunity to do so over the course of a weekend packed with training activities, our guest speaker and chances to network with likeminded adventurous women!
