Getting to the summit of Soarns Hill is difficult and the extensive forestry means that views are severely limited. But as it qualifies under MV prominence rules, off I went to climb it. I parked ...

Thank you kevin carroll. If I can put a smile on that contrary face, the Matterhorn should be a cakewalk.

An engaging top.
by Harry Goodman  11 Aug 2012 I climbed this hill on 26 July 2012 as the final top in a round of six that had started with Bingorms on a climb up from the R254 near L Barra. (For previous part of route see my comments on Crockfadda.) The climb up from the saddle B906133 below Crockfadda was about 1k, over grass and heather with some rocky patches, to the rock covered flat summit area. The top is marked by a trig pillar and an adjacent cairn near to a cluster of large granite boulders one of which sat up vertically like an ancient standing stone some two metres high. The views from the top of this hill, the lowest in my round, were both exceptional and extensive. To the NE was Errigal and the fine line of tops of the Glover Highlander stretching back to Muckish. To the W and S was an extensive panorama which included Aranmore Island, Slievetooey, Slieve League and the long ridge of the Bluestacks fronted by Scraigs and Agla Mt. From the top I descended back to the saddle below Crockfadda before heading SE (right) to gain the crest of the SE spur of Crockfadda and following it down some 2k to B930128 near a small pointed knoll, high above L Barra. Then keeping the knoll on my right, to avoid the dangerous and precipitous rocky face falling down to the road, I went NE down and around a more gentle but energy sapping trackless short slope through tough long grass for some 500 metres to my parking place at B9331412721. The route of my descent could be used for an out and back climb of Crocknasharragh.
