It is also known as Stumpeenadaff ({{lga|Stuimpín an Daimh|little pinnacle of the ox}}).[1] The Hag's Tooth is situated in the Hag's Glen beside the Eagle's Nest corrie of Carrauntoohil, and is part of the MacGillycuddy's Reeks in Kerry. GeographyThe Hag's Tooth is a distinctive triangular rock feature encountered when walking through the Hag's Glen on the way to climbing Carrauntoohil {{convert|1038.6|m|ft}}, Ireland's highest mountain, via the classic Devil's Ladder route.[2] The Hag's Tooth rock is described as "remarkably unstable".[3] The steep and narrow rocky ridge from the Hag's Tooth up to the summit of Beenkeragh, is referred to as the Hag's Tooth Ridge (see photo opposite).[4] Because of the low prominence of the Hag's Tooth, it only qualifies as a mountain on the Vandeleur-Lynam classification—Irish peaks over {{convert|600|m|abbr=on}}, and with prominence over {{convert|15|m|abbr=on}}; a threshold that the Hag's Tooth just meets.[5] The Hag's Tooth does not appear in the MountainViews Online Database, 100 Highest Irish Mountains, as the prominence threshold is {{convert|100|m|0|abbr=on}}.[6][7] ClimbingThe route to the Hag's Tooth follows the same path to access the Heavenly Gates gully of Carrauntoohil (the Heavenly Gates are sometimes used as an alternative descent route to the Devil's Ladder from the summit of Carrauntoohil), and also to access the dramatic deep corrie at the base of Carrauntoohil's north-east face, known as the Eagle's Nest area.[2][8] The Eagle's Nest corrie consists of three distinct levels, with the top level containing Lough Cummeenoughter, Ireland's highest lake.[9] The narrow rocky ridge from the Hag's Tooth up to the summit of Beenkeragh (see photo), is highly regarded for its scrambling, and for its views into the Eagle's Nest area and the major gullies of Carrauntoohil's north-east face.[10] The route also enables a loop to be completed by continuing across the infamous Beenkeragh Ridge to Carrauntoohil, and then descending via the Heavenly Gates, back into the Hag's Glen.[2] {{clear left}}References1. ^1 {{cite web|url= http://www.mountaineering.ie/_files/Paul%20Tempan%20Irish%20Mountain%20Placenames%20-%20Feb%202012.pdf|title=Irish Hill and Mountain Names|publisher=MountainViews.ie|author=Paul Tempan|date=February 2012}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite book | last1 = Ryan | first1 = Jim | title = Carrauntoohil and MacGillycuddy's Reeks: A Walking Guide to Ireland's Highest Mountains | publisher = Collins Press | isbn = 978-1905172337 | year = 2006 }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://mountainviews.ie/summit/193/|publisher=MountainViews Online Database|author=Simon Stewart|title=Hag's Tooth|date=2018|quote=The rock is remarkably unstable on the western slopes and boulders can tumble down unexpectedly.}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.kerryclimbing.ie/guided-carrauntoohil-ascents/corran-tuathail-via-stumpa-an-tsaimh-hags-tooth-ridge/|title=Corrauntoohil via the Hag's Tooth Ridge|publisher=Kerryclimbing.ie|date=2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://mountainviews.ie/lists/vandeleur-lynam/?PHPSESSID=6lpes93lcdlq890dprmqqu4dn6|title=Vandeleur-Lynams: Irish mountains of 600+m with a prominence of 15m|publisher=MountainViews Online Database|date=October 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://mountainviews.ie/lists/highest/|title=Irish Highest 100: The highest 100 Irish mountains with a prominence of +100m|publisher=MountainViews Online Database|date=September 2018}} 7. ^Mountainviews, (September 2013), "A Guide to Ireland's Mountain Summits: The Vandeleur-Lynams & the Arderins", Collins Books, Cork, {{ISBN|978-1-84889-164-7}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/travel/ireland/plenty-of-bite-in-hag-s-tooth-1.674747|title=Plenty of bite in the Hag's Tooth|publisher=Irish Times|author=John Dwyer|date=5 June 2010}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/travel/ireland/fancy-a-swim-in-ireland-s-highest-lake-halfway-up-carrauntoohil-1.3538867|title=Fancy a swim in Ireland’s highest lake, halfway up Carrauntoohil?|publisher=Irish Times|author=Helen Fairborn|date=30 June 2018|quote=Located at an elevation of 707m, Lough Cummeenoughter in Co Kerry is a unique swimming spot.

The lake itself is surprisingly hospitable; it has a sandy bed and becomes deep quickly enough to dive into.}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://kerrymountainrescue.ie/carrauntoohil-route-descriptions/|title=CARRAUNTOOHIL ROUTE DESCRIPTIONS: BROTHER O'SHEA'S GULLY (LOUGH CUMMEENOUGHTER) ROUTE|publisher=Kerry Mountain Rescue|date=2018}} See also{{commons category|MacGillycuddy's Reeks}}{{commons category|Hag's Tooth}}
