Despite being the highest of the Comeraghs, this is a rather unremarkable summit above the spectacular valley of Coumshingaun. The circuit of Coumshingaun comprises the ascent and descent of two dramatic ridges. The cliffs at the back of the valley off Fauscoum is the highest mountain in the Comeragh Mountains area and the 48th highest in Ireland. Fauscoum is the second most easterly summit in the Comeragh Mountains area. Fauscoum is the second highest point in county Waterford.

Why not take in another lake?

by thomas_g 20 Mar 2012 Starting from Kilclooney wood S342 102 , I went up the ridge south of the lough. It was more difficult than I expected due to slippery mud and a freezing cross wind, but the clear weather made the views worthwhile. The final steep bit was thankfully sheltered from the wind and easier than it looks, but if you didn't know about it in advance the pleasant walk along the ridge before it would lull you into a false sense of an easy walk to the summit.
Walking around the lake you can choose to descend via the ridge north of the lake (Stookangarriff) or if you don't fancy what can be a slippery descent or simply can't get enough of the coum's. You can head from approx S323 115 (Point C) for the spot height 494 at S331 123 (Point D), take in a lovely view of Crotty's before heading for the edge of the trees S338118 (Point E) and back across the valley to Kilclooney.

Point C: S323 115

Point D: S331 123

Point E: S338 118
