The helicopter was unable to carry out the rescue due to strong winds and was decamped back to Tralee.

A second rescue attempt was made an hour later but was met with poor weather conditions.

At approximately 7 pm, Kerry Mountain Rescue carried out a difficult extraction, safely bringing the woman down from the mountain.
