Thank you kevin carroll. If I can put a smile on that contrary face, the Matterhorn should be a cakewalk.

Think none of the Scavvies so far have tackled the Dunkerrons, and the Cloon Horseshoe at its heart - Mullaghanattin, Beann, Finnararagh and then moving all the way on to Knocknagantee and swingin...

Slieve Muck Mountain Sliabh Muc A name in Irish
(Ir. Sliabh Muc [PNNI], 'mountain of the pigs') Down County In Arderin, Vandeleur-Lynam Lists

Height: 674m OS 1:50k Mapsheet: 29 Grid Reference: J28112 24999 This summit has been logged as climbed by 271 members
I have climbed this summit: NO (You need to be a logged-in member to change this.)

Longitude: -6.039652, Latitude: 54.15805 Prominence: 159m,   Isolation: 1.2km,   Has trig pillar
ITM: 728032 825004,   GPS IDs, 6 char: SlvMck, 10 char: SlvMuck

Overlooks the Spelga Dam and the Deer's Meadow, the source of the River Bann. It is surprising to think that this river rises less than 10 miles from the coast near Newcastle, and yet it empties into the sea near Coleraine.   Slieve Muck is the 151st highest summit in Ireland.

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Slieve Muck in area Mourne Mountains, Ireland
Picture: The stile near Slieve Mucks summit		  
by three5four0  5 Jan 2010 Shaped like a pig it might be, but today it was covered in a white duvet. After seeing Wicklore's photo below, i have attached a photo to show the current snow cover, the stile in my photo is the one to the left in Wicklore's post. Yep, it really was that deep, good enough for ski touring and snow shoeing, which was going on !

by Geo  6 Mar 2010 Up from Carn to the summit is not really difficult, even when there's still snow lying. It was a great bonus to find a (rare) trig pillar in excellent order to complement the ubiquitous (anyone check the spelling please!) walls. I've been meaning to climb this one for ages, and was glad of the opportunity. We went down along the wall east towards the Bann's Road, which turned out to be quite steep in places and at one point the wall is replaced by a fraying fence. Worth the effort, definitely.

by stephenfarley  13 Apr 2004 Climbed from the road, up the Mourne Wall, is a good challenge. The view is excellent into the Mountain range and back towards Slieve Gullion. A perfect way to start a trek along the Mourne wall.
