Short Summary created by scapania, jackill  26 Jan 2011 Park in the large car park at the Connor pass.
Cross the main road and head due east uphill following a distinct track for 200 meters, leave this track as it swing sharply south and continue uphill and east, skirting cliffs to your left side.
These are steep cliffs, so keep some distance from them.
You will come to a small semicircle of stones at about 620 mtrs elevation , pick up a low stone wall and follow it to the unmarked summit about 400 meters to the east.

by jackill  31 Jan 2005 I had a few hours to spare while in Tralee last Friday so I headed for the Connor Pass with the intention of climbing Slievanea. The cloud was at about the 500 mtr mark and there was a strong wind blowing which kept the temperature at about 2 deg C, about 6 deg lower than in Tralee. There is a track leading up the mountain from the Connor pass but it seems to run around the side so I followed my GPS along the cliff edge. There is an indistinct track which you nearly have to follow by the soft feel of the ground compared to that on either side of it- someone has helpfully laid white stones at random intervals also but they are very far apart. About halfway up a sheep wire fence appeared at the edge of the cliff to my left. The top of Maughanablagher is marked by a semi circle of stones and the start of a stonewall which you can walk along some of the way towards Slievanea – 400 mtrs distant across flat ground. Slievaneas summit is a green, mossy area jutting out from the rough, brown grass that grows all along these cliffs. The cloud cover made it impossible to see anything so I beat a hasty retreat for the car. The picture is taken from the side of Maughanablagher at approx 500 mtrs, just below the cloud, looking across over the Pilgrims Route towards Gearhane and the Brandon mountains. Clogharee Lough is nearest, then Lough Atlea and in the distance the corner of Loch Cruite, the largest of Brandons Paternoster lakes.

Picture: The view to the west Expand pics.		  
by jackill  27 Oct 2005 The view from near the summit of Slieveanea. Looking towards the Blaskets just in front of the low stone circle is An Cnoc Maol Mor (493 mtrs) Dingle(or An Daingean ?), Beenabrack, Ballysitteragh, the Mullaghaveal Gap , Fallaghnamara and the Brandon Ridge rising towards Gearhane in the clouds. The two lakes are An Loch Geal and Loch Ui Fhiannachta.This is a really beautiful and remote part of the country yet easily accessible from the Connor Pass.

by padodes  21 Jan 2008 The best view of Slievanea is from the far side of the Owenmore River Valley, with your back to Brandon. When rising ground fog seems to lap at its flanks in the morning, it looks for all the world like a Titanic stuggling to make its way forward after taking a double whammy midship. The sharp prow is formed by Slievanea NE Top, and the two gaping corries behind are a stark reminder of its encounter with ice in the past. Further back, to the SW, the mountain tapers off to the Connor Pass (far right). The easiest access to the summit ridge, though not the most satisfying, is from the Pass, and the modest effort that is required to walk its length is repaid with wonderful views either westwards, over to the Brandon massif, or northeastwards, across to Beenoskee. If your are intent on peak-bagging, it's easy to take in An Cnapan Mor and Croaghskearda, all within easy range.
