There was a 3rd post about half way down the ridge when I came down it in May 2008 but it had been uprooted. The ridge is the fast (10 mins), steep exciting route back down to the green road and the yellow-marked Dingle Way. It's also where the local wild goats hang out.

If you go this far continue north to Sas Creek.You won't be disappointed with the view. Sas means trap so don't descend! Bran the Sea God lay down along the coast here to protect the inhabitants, one eye at Sas Creek, another at Brandon Bay and Mas A' Tiompain his hip joint.

I approached it, starting from the village of Cloghane, by crossing the Faha Ridge at its lower eastern end and heading straight for the mountain across the wide expanse of grassland of Macha an Mhíl. The Dingle Way, coming from Ballycurrane, skirts the steep cliffs visible in the photo, before turning E towards Brandon village and eventually Cloghane. (Comment Rating 3.00) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average Expand pics. by padodes  18 Jun 2007 This photo is taken descending the NE ridge of Masatiompan and provides a view of Sauce Creek directly ahead. A straightforward climb from the saddle between Piaras Mór and Masatiompan takes one quickly to the broad top, but this soon narrows to a tight ridge as you descend NE. I have no idea what walk the waymarker is meant to indicate, unless it is simply an extension of the Dingle Way. Perhaps it is just intended as a pointer to the fog-bound, steering them towards the NE ridge and away from the cliffs to each side.

We didn't feel like being the latest statistic for Kerry Miountain Rescue so decided on someething less challenging - following the Dingle Way from Feohanagh to the saddle between Piaras Mor and Mastiompan - up Masatiompan and then back the way we came. For a waymarked route, this is a section as remote as they come and being able to knock off Masatioman was a bonus. Like Padodes, we were a bit mystified by the red marker on the summit pointing NE - as there is no other red market post anywhere else on the Dingle Way - at least on the section W of Masatiompan - but presume it's to direct people towards Sas Creek. On a bad day when most of the Brandon range is shrouded in low cloud, climbing Masatiompan from the western section of the Dingle Way is a pretty good and safer alternative.
