by Pádraig  2 Mar 2004 Climbed Keadeen on 27 February 2004. Great steep little climb and a smashing view of Lug from the summit. Nice with a bit of snow thrown in for good measure!
Ideal way to pass a few hours or to build up stamina for bigger ventures.

by bneville  26 Oct 2009 Went up Keadeen today with the kids. Started out from Dwyer/McAllister car park and up forest path about 200m down the road from car park (via sheep pen). Talked with local farmer about the heavy rain in recent days. Followed forest road to turning circle, then about 50m further on turned left up a steep rough forest road. At junction with green older forest track (S95631 91167 (Point A)) we stayed left but if you could also go straight for an easier approach. Once the road left the trees we cut right up along the stone wall, over a stile and straight up to the top - tough going on the heather for even a hardy 8 year old. Great views all round. Returned by a timber posted boundary fence from cairn - steeper but quick. Cut back via aforementioned green forest (S95462 90903 (Point B)) to arrive back original forest road. Then had fun trying to get round full pen of sheep without upsetting them too much. Not another soul on the mountain and Fentons quiet also.
Point A: S95631 91167 Point B: S95462 90903

by Dessie1  18 May 2012 Climbed Keadeen on 11-5-12.Parked at Dwyer/McAllister Cottage car park which has enough room for 6-8 cars easily at point S96611 91266 (Point C) and walked roughly 200m NW back up the roadway to a gate at point S96370 91455 (Point D).Follow track over a few fences for about 300m until the track forks left and right.Take the right track and follow the switchbacks all the way up through the forest until it reaches the clearing.From there (S95617 90306 (Point E)) it is a steep enough 1km slog SW uphill to the summit (S95395 89766 (Point F))which contains a large cairn and a trig pillar located a few metres away.Spectacularly expansive 360 deg views of the Wicklow mountains await(Weather permitting!)
Point C: S96611 91266 Point D: S96370 91455 Point E: S95617 90306

by etrino  6 Jan 2010 The easiest way to climb Keadeen is from the forest car park at Ballinabarny Gap S9846 8953 (Point G), walking up the side of the forest and following a clearly visible track. We did it for a refreshing climb on St. Stephen's Day. 6.9km to the cairn and back, 318m ascent.
