North East Face
by vycanismajoris  8 Feb 2012 I have climbed the south face from the car park several times in the past few weeks but decided to try the scramble of the north east face. The mountain is a different beast from this side. Tall, broad and intimidatingly rocky. Managed to get up in 45 minutes with a stop for a sore ankle. There is parking at the Kilmacanogue GAA club (O244 137 (Point C)) and a grassy path at the side that leads to several routes up the mountain. There are grassy trails to the west that snake up the mountain for a gentle hike or the direct approach which has hardly any obvious trails but is covered in loose rocks
Point C: O244 137
