Hag's Tooth: This might hurt

Like 1950s dentistry, my pursuit of the Vanderleur-Lynams over 30 years is rarely elegant and sometimes painful. I knew that eventually I would have to climb Stumpa a’ tSaimh. This hill had t...

Also known as Slieve Cor or Corslieve. The Discovery map links the name Corslieve with a neighbouring peak (541m) situated about 3 miles to the south, but the Ordnance Survey Name Book and William Bald's map of Mayo (1830) show quite clearly that it is simply an alternative for Slieve Carr, with the same elements inverted. A cairn on the summit is named Laghtdauhybaun on the old ½ inch map, but is unnamed on the Discovery map. This is probably derived from Ir. Leacht Dáithí Bháin, 'burial monument of white Dáithí'. There may be a connection with Dáithí, a king of Connacht and reputed last pagan high-king of Ireland (see Slieve Alp). This peak is named Curslieve on Bald’s map of Mayo (1830).   Slieve Carr is the highest mountain in the Nephin Begs area and the 97th highest in Ireland. Slieve Carr is the most northerly summit in the Nephin Begs area.

Picture: Slieve Carr from the Bangor Trail		  
Bangor Trail from Bangor
by sandilandsn  3 Jan 2011
I climbed Slieve Carr in May 2007 during a wet spell. Aspiring summitteers should not be put off by the reputation for remoteness. The distance from Bangor along the Bangor Trail is 12 km so it's not not exactly on a par with some of the remoter Scottish Munros. There is nevertheless a real feeling of space on the summit ridge. Although the Bangor trail is hardly a maintained path it is a real help in covering the first 6km over what would otherwise be very rough ground. The roughest and wettest stretch is the 2km between leaving the trail and getting onto the ridge where two streams have to be crossed. The going on the ridge is quite good. The ascent took four and a half hours at a modest pace. There is good parking at the sports ground in Bangor. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/94/comment/6190/

Ascending Slieve Carr on its SE spur gives views of its South ridge, right and Nephin Beg, left. This pictures is somewhat similar but on a better day to the one uploaded by bryanmccabe. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/94/comment/6784/

A hard tough walk through the wilderness
by paul condon  6 Sep 2014
September 2014 Slieve Carr is not for the faint hearted. We started from the footbridge "San Francisco" over the Tarsaghaunmore River off the N59 and headed East to join the Bangor Trail. After approx 2kms headed for the slopes of Tawnyanruddia on to Cor Slieve and finally to Slieve Carr 721mtrs. To complete the circuit we headed North towards Maumykelly and cut West in the col and headed West to pick up Bangor Trail and back to cars. This circuit is 20.3kms and the ground for the most part is bog and wilderness. It took close to 7 hrs to complete given the underfoot conditions. Weather was poor low cloud so no views to redeem this walk. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/94/comment/17666/

WOODY on Slieve Carr, 2006
by WOODY  6 Oct 2006
climbed this in spring -summer 06, followed the bangor trail from the lodge at shramore towards bangor until just past meeting point with western way, turned north - north east to climb minor hill ( 410 M ) and then down into dip and up onto nephin beg, continued heading almost straight for the summit of slieve carr, over corslieve and on up to cairn at summit. not in any way technical but strenuous and heavy on time, turned round and reversed the whole thing back to shramore, pic attached Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/94/comment/2522/

Awesome!!!
by PaulRevere  5 Sep 2010
I had the good fortune of meeting a girl from the area who is now my wife. The mountain is right behind her house and since I began coming here in 1990 I have wanted to climb it. I am surprised that it doesnt score higher in asthetics because (on a clear day) it really looks majestic! Way more inspiring than Nephin which in my mind is boringly symetrical. Finally realised my ambition when I climbed this mountain on Sat 19.07.08 after a week of rain so was very boggy and wet under foot. It was a beautiful day and views for miles. This mountain really is remote but some of the comments surprised me. After studying the o/s map and comments on this page I entered from a track off the road to Ballycroy, over a footbridge and then through the valley. I am not a climber (but am fit) and it took 2.5 hours to ascend which I thought was good going considering some of the comments. Very cold at the top but well worth the view! I now live in Bangor Erris so email me if you want more details of the route. Thinking of embarking on a project in 2011 to refurb the tin hut on the way!

Beast of a Mountain
by ahendroff  12 Jul 2010
A rough walk-in from the nearest road or tarmac, no matter which direction you try and attempt it from. If lucky, the bogs will be dry-ish on your attempt (like mine). If unlucky, then it's a long bog-trot just to get to the base of the mountain. The picture shows the final steep ascent to the summit via its NW spur.
