Con Moriarty

Con Moriarty grew up in one of the world's very special places—amidst the wild peaks of the McGillycuddy Reeks and Killarney Valley of Ireland's County Kerry. From an early age, Con has been awake to the spirit of this magical place. The rich Gaelic culture of his upbringing steeped him in a wealth of folklore and history, and the intriguing story of Ireland and its peoples are a central passion for Con. Traveling with Con and his friends in Ireland is truly a learning adventure—walking and experiencing the "hidden Ireland." A keen mountaineer, Con has climbed and traveled extensively in the mountain environments of Scotland, the European Alps, the US, Nepal, Kenya, Irian Jaya, Australia, Patagonia, and New Zealand.
