Sugarloaf Mountain Mountain Gabhal Mhór A name in Irish
(Ir. Gabhal Mhór [OSI], 'big fork') Cork County In Arderin List

Height: 574m OS 1:50k Mapsheet: 85 Grid Reference: V87376 52951 This summit has been logged as climbed by 64 members
I have climbed this summit: NO (You need to be a logged-in member to change this.)

Longitude: -9.630352, Latitude: 51.718212 Prominence: 126m, Isolation: 1.3km, Has trig pillar
ITM: 487352 553018, GPS IDs, 6 char: SgrlMn, 10 char: SgrlfMntn

The Irish name Gabhal Mhór may seem odd as a name for a mountain, but it appears to have developed from Sliabh na Gaibhle, 'mountain of the fork'. This accounts for the anglicised form Slieve Goul found in several 19th century sources. It is unclear Sugarloaf Mountain is the 321st highest summit in Ireland.

COMMENTS for Sugarloaf Mountain of 1

Feels higher than it is

Short Summary created by thomas_g 29 Jul 2012 Access is possible from the old Beara way track which can be reached by parking at V91700 54569 (Point A) (1 car) and following the track for about 5km. The turn to the old track is easy to miss it's at V888 536 (Point B). The summit can be reached via the spot height 316m in what can be a slippery climb, it gets less steep the further west you go. Access is also straightforward from Sugarloaf West.
There are great views in all directions from the trig point which for some reason is painted white.
I would not recommend a descent to the east or especially the north - stick to the ridge or go S/SW.
Due to the way the peak sits above the valley to the north, it feels much higher than its 574m.

Point A: V91700 54569

Point B: V888 536
