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

The sharp ridge which climbs to Mullaghnarakill between Coomaglaslaw and Coomnacronia provides one of the most challenging walks in the Glenbeigh Horseshoe area. The lower part of this ridge is known locally as Drom an Bháid or Bottom of the Boat, from   Mullaghnarakill is the 164th highest summit in Ireland.

Picture: Kerry sea, hill and sheep.		  
by simon3  23 Aug 2005 If you go west from the top, the view SW becomes another Kerry classic. The inlet nearest to us is part of Valencia River with Cahersiveen on the left side at the narrower part before the water widens. On the skyline is the magnificently named Geokaun (266m) to the right and the further summit is Foiltagarriff, 11km away.

by pdonnelly  29 Mar 2005 Mullaghnarakill can be climbed as part of the wider Glenbeigh horseshoe or more interestingly as a part of a shorter circuit around Coomaglaslaw lake . The summit is dome shaped with a boulder strewn top.

by simon3  22 Aug 2005 At the summit you are not aware of the dramatic cliffs North and East. All there is to see is this low outcrop with a mini cairn on it.

by pdtempan  24 Jun 2009 I climbed this peak about 5 years ago with a couple of friends by the obvious ridge coming from the NE which rises up between the lakes of Coomnacronia and Coomaglaslaw and makes straight for the summit. I mustn't have had my camera with me that day, as the scenery was very dramatic and the weather fine, but I've no pics to show for it. I notice that nobody has commented on this route on this page. I guess a lot of people do this peak as part of a longer walk taking in many or all of the peaks on the Glenbeigh Horseshoe, but I'm surely not the only one who has spotted this striking ridge and felt compelled to take up the challenge. pdonnelly points out that a short, sharp circuit of Coomaglaslaw is also a possibility, and one I would throughly recommend. Your best bet is to do the tougher ridge up to Mullaghnarakill on the way up, and then to descend via the airy but easy arete (called Keamconneragh) to Coomreagh, finishing in Coomasaharn.

by sbender  11 Oct 2009 Climbed Mullaghnarakill today via the NE spur as described by pdtempan. I spotted this ridge last week when I did the Coomasaharn HS and just had to do it!! Unfortunately the weather wasn't great for it, visibility was down to 50m. So, I don't have any pictures either.
the best access is via the track just after the bridge V 622 870 (Point A), it splits after a short bit, just stay left. This will bring you right to the nose of the spur. It is a nice easy scramble with dramatic drops on both sides (which I couldn't really see). After you reach the summit, you can take Beenhill, Beenmore and Drung Hill. Descent E-SE to bring you back to the bridge. There is parking for only a few cars near the bridge and the road is very narrow. I will have to go back one day when the weather is better, so I can see the views.
Point A: V622 870
