Picture: Scree weaping from every outcrop, Barrclashcame NW faces West		  
Overshadowed summit with good views.
Short Summary created by simon3  24 Jun 2010 This peak will always live in the shadow of it larger brother Barrclashcame. However it does provide a few extras such as the view of the north face of the Sheefrys and a good view into the huge NE coum of Mweelrea.
Easy access and parking is available from the R335 around L827697 (Point A). The ground is steep, rough but feasible more or less straight up from there to the top.
Point A: L827 697

by madfrankie  14 Apr 2011 Firstly, apologies for the excruciating pun in the title!
This northern outlier of the Sheefrys is a surprisingly tough haul from the road in Doolough where there are several places to park roadside, for instance L8248069761 (Point B). It took a sweaty hour and 15 minutes up the relentlessly steep NW spur and it really doesn't level off until 50m from the summit.
From the summit there is a seldom-seen perspective of Croagh Patrick, behind Tangincartoor.
On the descent, I was able to bum-slide much of the way down - 30 seconds is about the maximum time per run, before heat friction reaches uncomfortable levels!
Point B: L82480 69761

Excursion to the NW
by gerrym  14 Apr 2011 Clashcarne NW Top is not surprisingly eclipsed by its towering neighbours but it is worth taking in from the summit of Clashcarne or could easily be used as part of a circuit from Doo Lough. From Clashcarne it is a drop down NW some 600ft to the col with the NW Top. The initial part of this drop is over very steep ground with rocks and scree so caution is needed but this soon eases to grass and it is a short climb upto the summit. There are perhaps better views of Mwreela here as can see into the corrie and the length of Doo Lough. There are also good views out to sea to the various islands and east along the Sheefrys. Surprisingly it took about the same time to reascend Clashcarne (30 mins)
