The nearer summit is Scarr, the hazy summits on the skyline are in Wales. After some very helpful contributions on newsgroup uk.rec.walking (thanks Paul Saunders et al) the best estimate is that the summit at D is Crib y Ddysgl (aka Garnedd Ugain 1065m), which would make Summit E just to the right, Snowdon (1085m and 155km away). Between E and J is the Nantlle ridge. The summit at J may be Yr Eifl.

There's something especially ethereal and soul freeing when your hands and your feet are the only freezing things you can see for half an hour! I set out from the Glenmalure side which was quite short (took me 3 hours roundtrip, which included 20 min for tea and sambo at the rock outcrop just below the summit). The views were still beautiful from the side, before entering the cloud covered summit area. I'd recommend always to have a compass on hand, which came in handy, and a GPS (though good compass and map usage will always beat batteries!). The ground was very boggy, but there is a path right across from the parking lot that takes you up a lung opening, but not too steep, angle. It does peter out right at the peat hags, but if you stay at a NE angle you'll reach the summit from there in about 10 or 15 min (in the cloud I was afraid I'd missed it until it suddenly appeared out of the cloud like some rocky ghost frozen in time). I had to trust the compass to head back down but first headed for this clump of rocks to hide out from the wind and to boil some water for tea (those Jetboils are great for quick tea breaks). The wind was fierce, but somehow the wind and the cloud all made the walk seem so much more interesting, as the Wicklow's can be a bit on the boring side IF you only concentrate on the view from the top. The walk up had a lot more to say about this mountain (then again, I could only see about 40 feet ahead at any one time, so I likely missed...well all of it really :)). Seriously though, what a great mountain to go up, and the different approaches will keep it interesting for all levels of fitness and scale with the same hiker accordingly.

This picture shows Lough Ouler where it feeds into Lough Brook on a bright day in Sept 2002.

The E.S.B built it in the 70,s. Water is pumped down hill at night to turbines creating electricity.Climbed Tonelagee, with friends, in July 04, from the car park at the Wicklow Gap, which is between Turlough Hill and Tonelagee.Lovely views from the top of Lough Ouler and surrounding mnts.Went from there to Stoney Top and on to Mullaghcleevaun ,then to Mullaghcleevaun East Top .There's a large upright stone with a cross etched on it on Stoney Top, could have something to do with St. Kevin.We went from east top down through the valley and made our way to Lough Ouler.There i found and held a common lizard , the only type of lizard native to Ireland .Same size as a newt , but with a snake like head and forked tongue , not very common.We climbed Tonelagee from the lake and made our way back to the car park. It was a clear day with good visibility, the walk was about 11 miles and took us 7 hours .Well worth doing on a good day.
