Steps to the top.
by Huskyman  4 Sep 2012 Not having been to Binnian for a while, I hope this is not the case.
It would be very sad if so.
The Mournes are mostly unspoiled by "un-natural" tracks and paths, the ones there have been made by passing feet. Let them stay that way.
If people need steps to get to the tops of summits, in my opion, they shouldn't be there in the first place.

by craigo  17 Aug 2004 On walk to binnian from silent valley, do not simply disregard wee binnian, up its eastern side is a huge scar which makes for a short but highly enjoyable gully ascent. View from the top is not bad either. Strange how small it looks from a distance

Picture: View of Little Binnian dwarfed by the tors of Slieve Binnian from the top of Moolieve		  
by kendogbaggio  9 Jan 2006 On the approach track from Silent Valley car park to Binnian for a days climbing. You can just see Little Binnian dwarfed by the south tors of Slieve Binnian. We decided stop off on Little Binnian and boulder for a while, as about half an hour after i took this picture the weather turned nasty when the temp dropped and the cloud base came right down over us.Decided to leave the tors for another day. It just shows to be careful in the mournes, have the right gear and most of all, know your limits. This very same day a man had to be rescued from Slieve Donard after falling and badly hurting his leg. It took 3 hours to get him down in the falling light.

Take a break
by paulocon  5 May 2010 When you reach this stile below the summit of Binnian, you are very nearly there. It's also a great spot for a rest stop before the final push for the summit. On a clear day, the view out to sea from this spot is stunning!
