Picture: Cruiscìn next to Mullagh Glas		  
Little and large
by wicklore  8 Jun 2010 Like Wee Binnion in the Mourne Mountains, Cruiscìn is nought but a pimple on the side of its parent mountain. This photo, taken from the south, shows Cruiscìn as a little lump sticking out from the lower right hand side of Mullagh Glas. (Cruiscìn just above pole at right of photo).

Not so obvious in the photo is the rather interesting position Cruiscìn holds, situated just above the col between Corcogemore and Mullagh Glas. If approaching from Corcogemore, there is a 200 metre haul up Mullagh Glas from Cruiscìn, along a steep narrow trail.

Picture: Summit cairn
by colin murphy  2 Nov 2009 A natural stop on the way to its bigger brother, Mullach Glas, although this top only seemed to drop about 17m to the west, according to my GPS. There is a cairn near the top, though as is often the case for some strange reason it is not at the actual highest point, which is about 30 metres away, as can be seen in shot.

Picture: The view to Cruiscín from the shoulders of Corcóg.		  
by csd  23 Feb 2010 As Colin Murphy notes, this one's a no-brainer on the way up to the main top of Mullach Glas. The photo shows the view from L948 497 (Point A), which is where I'd suggest approaching from if coming from Corcóg. As you descend from this viewpoint, you should pick up a fence (barely visible in the photo) which will lead you straight to the foot of Cruiscín. As you can see, poor little Cruiscín is almost completely overshadowed by its bigger brother, Mullach Glas, looming behind!
Point A: L948 497
