Connor, I'm one of the three who's logged an ascent of this top...it's splendid wild country, but a bit 'Bluestacks Lite' and there's no way it's one of Ireland's top 100...strewth, it's not even one of the top 100 that I've personally climbed. That said, I think the ratings for challenge, view, wilderness etc. aren't a million miles wide of the mark.
(I'm waiting for Simon to embarrass me by saying that I did actually nominate it as one of Ireland's top 100 when I originally rated it...I genuinely can't remember). |

thomas_g 2 weeks ago. There is fairly good access from the main Barraboy ridge via a grassy gully which was a bit damp at the bottom. It's possible to traverse east to this top from the Beara way, but it looks like hor... |

Summit Summary Barraboy Mountain SE Top: A quick run around the possible tops |
Collaborative entry Last edit by: thomas_g 2 weeks ago. Barraboy SE is best reached Barraboy top. It's also possible to access from the east but it's a long damp walk from Priests leap.
Views are very good south to the sea. Knockboy is clearly visible... |

Summit Comment Barraboy Mountain: Fine views over the bay |
thomas_g 2 weeks ago. Parked at V93218 61229 (barely room for one car) beside Beara Way stile. Over the stile and up the track, I left the track and went straight for the peak, but it's probably best to follow the trac... |

Forum: General The summit question |
Conor74 6 days ago. My point was not related to the height at all. As I understood, the point raised was not about the height of the south pinnacle of the Great Skellig, but whether people could consider it bagged o... |
