Here's what deep concern looks like. Many thanks to Victor who just sent me these photos - he's part of the local Irish hiking group we met on our hike along the Slieve League just west of Donegal, along the western coast of Ireland. As mentioned in a previous post, it was extremely foggy and we didn't know until we were already traversing the "Eagle's Nest" what exactly we were crossing.

What these photos don't quite convey is the dramatic falloff on the other side (these are the highest sea cliffs in Europe, after all), which was a 2000 foot (600 meter) drop down into the Atlantic.
