Met a local lady out walking her dog. She showed me an easy way up uncluttered by foliage. Park in the upper carpark and follow the forest trail off to the right. Ignore all small trails leading up left off this until you see the signpost for '98 Rebel Camp'. Turn left here. You will soon come to a fork in this path as it wends its way up and west off the main forestry trail. Veer right and arrive at the rebel camp from which I could find no way up to the top through the foliage. No worries though, the camp site is worth a goo. All you have to do then is return to that fork and take the left trail. This takes you to the summit without any need of a machete at all. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1018/comment/18473/
