Summit Comment thomas_g 3 weeks ago
Access is best from the west (Barraboy) or east (Priests Leap). It's a pretty boggy rocky walk from either and be warned the going between this top and the edge of the main Barraboy ridge is fairl...

The summit question

My point was not related to the height at all. As I understood, the point raised was not about the height of the south pinnacle of the Great Skellig, but whether people could consider it bagged o...

Barraboy Mountain SE Top: Come from the ridge

Summit Comment thomas_g 3 weeks ago
There is fairly good access from the main Barraboy ridge via a grassy gully which was a bit damp at the bottom. It's possible to traverse east to this top from the Beara way, but it looks like hor...

Barraboy Mountain: Fine views over the bay

Summit Comment thomas_g 3 weeks ago
Parked at V93218 61229 (barely room for one car) beside Beara Way stile. Over the stile and up the track, I left the track and went straight for the peak, but it's probably best to follow the trac...

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Cnoc Breasail in area Dunkerron Mountains, Ireland
Picture: Coomavanniha and ridge from Coomavoher.		  
by simon3  13 Sep 2005 One way of reaching the top is from the ridge on the south of Coomavoher, which is along the line of the wall and fence on the left of the picture. Visible on the skyline streching away from the left side is a broad saddle going from there to the summit. It's a wild ridge where the grain of the land will force you into many detours though it is a little easier on the west side. The ridge has many souvenirs from the ice such as erratics and scraped out ponds.

On the north end of the mountain as you approach along the ridge some curved sedimentary geology is very visible.

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Cnoc Breasail in area Dunkerron Mountains, Ireland
Picture: Rugged summit, rugged view.
by simon3  12 Sep 2005 The summit is flattish though very rugged with outcrops. Although not very high and certainly not well known there are views of the coast and north and south along the line of the Iveragh mountains. Knocknagantee to the NE and Coomcallee to the south.

The panorama is towards the SW and shows Coomavanniha Lough just to the left of Coomavanniha summit. On the skyline to the left is confused mass that is Coomeathcun.

Rest assured, when you visit this summit you are unlikely to meet other walkers.
