Parked car at Access road at base of Kippure O1413914164 (Point D) (Room for 4-5 cars here).Took a direct course bearing 106 deg toward summit across very wet,boggy and knee high heather filled terrrain(1.9Km). Reached open flat summit (O1594413686 (Point E) ) after approx 45 mins which was marked by a mere gathering of stones atop some raised bog.Excellent views in all directions of War Hill,Djouce and Maulin to the South and Kippures mast to the NorthWest.Retraced steps back to car in a round trip of approx 1 and a half hrs.

Word of warning to those using the wall route, along the northern side of the Raven's Glen, to climb Tonduff. As you haul up by the path along the wall, about ten minutes up at a point where there's trees on both sides of the wall, a large, very nasty and very rusty piece of barbed wire has been draped over the wall itself. No big deal usually, except that this is a section where the path runs directly alongside the wall, and only gloves saved me from injuring my hand on it as I went up in wet conditions today.

Tonduff is usually described as a dull, unexciting top, but a good approach can make amends for that, and the rugged Ravens’ Glen offers at least three of them. (Ravens’ Glen is the name given in the Harvey Map, though not in the OSI, to the little valley that some glacier chewed out of the eastern side of Tonduff. It lies within the square kilometre that has O 170 130 (Point F) as its lower left-hand corner.) O 175 142 (Point G) , before striking out slightly south-westwards, firstly over sharply rising ground and then over bogland, to nearby Tonduff. O 180 136 (Point H) . At the head of the valley here, a clearly visible ramp and gully, usually with a negligible flow of water, leads upwards. Where it narrows at the top, the high vegetation closes in and tends to hamper but not prevent progress.
Point F: O170 130
Point G: O175 142
Point H: O180 136

Tonduff is described on the OSI sheet 56 as being in two parts, Tonduff North and Tonduff South. Both have little visual appeal to the walker, though they are parts of various popular routes. The original name of Tonduff (black backside) adds little allure either. Geographically Tonduff is interesting because the sources of three East coast rivers start on the southern flanks of the mountain: the Liffey, Dargle and Avonmore. (Comment Rating 3.71)
