Picture: Im dreaming of a White Christmas... oops its January!!		  
Look at all this white stuff :D
by LizzieMurray  21 Jan 2013 Keadeen Mountain, Rathdangan today 18 Jan 2013 . Its only 653m but dont underestimate her. She is deceivingly steep with quite a few humps up and down and in this snow its hard to determine whats hard snow and whats bog until you actually take a step so you kind of have to negotiate every step. Most enjoyable mountain and lovely place to shelter at the top for a spot of lunch :D Recommend this to anyone interested in an easy enough to find summit once you can zig zag the swamps

by oldsoldier  19 Apr 2009 I climbed this peak first of three on Sat 18/04/09. I followed the instruction to Dwyer/McAllister cottage. I parked in the car park, turned right out of the car park and entered the woods to the left about 200 meters along the road just above farmhouse. After approx 350 metersI turned left again up a track leading to the open moutain. This track led me nearly to the wall. having climbed over the wall I continued in a straight line to the summit. not the best route but definitely the fastest. Took me 72 minutes to the top and 44 back to the car. It was a slog up and steep for the first twenty minutes. Spoke to the old farmer who has trampled these hills since he was a boy in the 40's. He walked across the hills into the glen of Imaal to his school. part of the school still exists in the glen. lovely day and onto the next peak, croaghmoira.

by trighunter  24 Mar 2005 I climbed Keadeen on a mild overcast Patrick's Day '05. The route from Dwyer/McAllister's cottage is relatively easy in Winter, but in Summer the gorse and heather on the final stage would make to route more demanding.
