The ridge known as the Bone descends NW from this peak. This is a good escape route off the eastern Reeks. Maolán Buí is the 6th highest summit in Ireland. Our data has reached 69% of the goal for this summit. (Details)     COMMENTS for Maolán Buí Page 1 of 1 Expand pics.   by jackill  29 Aug 2004 The way down The Bone is marked by a line of stones with rusted iron fence posts at regular intervals. the photo shows part of this line on the lower slopes of The Bone but it reaches most of the way to the top of the mountain. It could be a useful aid in bad conditions. Please note the track down is slightly to the west of the line of stones but if you can stay within 5-6 meters of it you won't go far wrong.

We tacked the 'Reeks Ridge in August 2004 and descended from Maolan Bui via The Bone into the Hags Glen - much better than the Devils Ladder. (Comment Rating 4.00) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average by incawest  3 Jan 2009 Climbed her on 2-Jan-2009 with a group of 10. Started out in good weather and visibility in Cronins yard. Made the summit moving nicely in 2.5 hours. Conditions on top were 5m visibility in freezing conditions. Had planned to head west and descend via the Zig-zags. Pulled back from this after travelling about 200m with some party members very cold at this stage. Even though I had been down The Bone in good conditions before somehow we drifted off the route down and ended up very west (left) of the intended route. Moral: be very careful up high when conditions detiorate and always keep consulting the compass to ensure you are on the right bearing, go slow and dont rush map reading no matter how cold everyone is. We got everyone down safely by descending slowly and carefully, but lesson learned (again!)

We did the reverse route on 03 Jan 2009, up the zig-zags and down The Bone, but we were toasty warm thanks to the flask of coffee and multiple fleece layers. The summit of Maolán Buí was clear on our first arrival, but after a detour to bag Cnoc na Péiste the mist had descended on our return. According to my GPS we started off down the right path, but veered off at V831 839 (Point A). This path just gets steeper and steeper. It must disappear over the cliffs below at some point. Once we realised our dilemma we made a trouser-staining traverse back to the ridge and picked up the proper path. Point A: V831 839 (turn area map On) (Comment Rating 4.00) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average (End of comment section for Maolán Buí. Recent comments about other mountains below.)
