Caher is often climbed as part of the Coomloughra Horseshoe, which takes 6-8 hours and is described as one of Ireland's classic ridge walks. It takes in the circuit of neighbouring peaks of Caher West Top, Carrauntoohil, The Bones, Beenkeragh, and Skregmore. On Caher's western slopes is the townland of Derrynafeana (, meaning oak wood of the Fianna).
