121 steps to the top of the tower, gets very narrow as you climb up and you may need to squeeze in to let people pass you on their way down. Last few steps to the top might be a bit tricky for some but it's well worth it for the views. Definitely recommend

One of the two towers open for tourists climbing in Ireland. It's like climbing a bunk bed for 30 meters. It's an unique experience. Be aware when you need to get pass people toward opposite direction.

Der Besuch des Rundturms ist nur während der Öffnungszeiten der Kathedrale möglich und lohnt die 5 € Eintritt auf jeden Fall - nicht nur wegen der tollen Aussicht in 30 m Höhe. Schon der Aufstieg über die enge Treppe im Inneren ist ein Abenteuer: Es gibt kaum Platz, um dem Gegenverkehr auszuweichen und der letzte Abschnitt ist so eng, dass man kaum hindurch kommt. Für beleibte Personen oder Menschen mit Platzangst ungeeignet! Unbedingt empfehlenswert!

You need to be thin and in a good health condition to crawl up and down the tower. It’s pretty narrow and the stairs are very steep, almost 90 degrees. But it’s a very enjoyable experience if you don’t mind some discomfort on your way to the top. Also if you have the fear of the heights then you should think twice before...
