The horseshoe is behind, showing Beenkeragh on the far left, Carrauntoohil in the centre, with the ridge sloping up towards Caher on the right. We had come up from Lough Acoose & were pretty hot already !

We headed up from Lough Acoose on a beautiful August day, and the going seemed easy on this section, with fairly short heather giving way to rocky ground towards the summit (Comment Rating 4.00) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average Picture: Cnoc Iochtair from North-East Expand pics.   by madfrankie  27 Apr 2006 Cnoc Iochtair is the first step on the 'staircase' to Beenkeeragh, and as such, not many will approach it as we did, from northern outlier Skregbeg. From Skregbeg's saddle to Skregmore, veer SW, and although this approach looked steep and scrambly, it's a straightforward ascent to the rocky summit.

The ascent was quite easy to the usual small cairn. The lough is not visible from the summit IV 78489 85974 (Point B) but again the view across the distant bay to the Brandon Group of mountains was noteworthy. From the summit I took a sheep track to the left (south) travelling west down towards the Hydro Road and the river which I had used earlier in the morning as a guide to Spot Height 404m. Tired but happy I passed over Loch Iochtair and descended the very steep slope, eventually finding a track which, I followed down to the hydro Road. I noticed the couple from Hull whom I had met earlier on top of Carrauntoohill making their way back to their tent which they had pitched a short distance from Loch Iochtair as I made my descent. Upon reaching the Hydro Road I crossed a fence and followed sheep-tracks and the river back to the initial trail I had used earlier that morning. Descending it alongside the waterpipe, I edged the farmer’s field with care before reaching the short track leading back to the derelict building, the road & car at Breanlee. The ‘Coumloughra Horseshoe’ with the addition of the Knockbrinnea tops and the hour spent on Carrauntoohill (waiting to take photos) took about seven and three quarter hours.

I started climbing this from Lough Eighter but ended up doing the final climb on the other side of the mountain (above the track which leads to Lough Eighter). This final stretch did feel rather exposed. (Comment Rating 2.50) Your Score: Very useful <<  >>Average (End of comment section for Cnoc Iochtair. Recent comments about other mountains below.)
