The Wicklow Way passes over the western and southern flanks of this hill and can be used to provide access to the summit from either side. It is a pleasant walk, with good views when there is a break in the treeline.

There is limited parking O18095 15925 A from where you head south east along the forest track following the Wicklow Way. This is a gentle ascent to O18826 15270 B where you leave the way and make a hairpin left turn to continue following forest track up to a bench at a viewpoint O18367 15756 C where the forest track ends. From here it is a matter of following a narrow but well defined track to the unmarked but clear summit. (Make sure to go the whole way to the end of this narrow track!) (As of July 2019, the narrow track has become badly overgrown - see note below 'The Briar Path')

An alternative start point is at O190 150 D near the Glencree hostel. There is more ample parking at this point. This approach is shorter in distance, but starting from a lower height and has a steeper ascent. Again it is a matter of following the way to O18826 15270 B where you head for the summit as described above.

Note: Unlike what is shown on the maps, the entire top of this hill is forested! Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1100/comment/15344/

As of July 2019, the path to the summit has all but vanished under a dense covering of gorse, briars and intruding conifers. As you approach the clearing with the bench, the path can be found in the far right hand corner - you will have to pass through a low, narrow tunnel of gorse for about 6-7 metres. Things don't get much better after that. At times the path disappears completely and you will frequently encounter head-high gorse or briars. This continues almost all the way to the summit and is very unpleasant. I seriously suggest that you do not wear short sleeves and bring a machete!

Climbed this morning in fantastic weather, once again followed directions from previous comments started at 018095 E 15925. A lovely 15min walk along good forest tracks brought me to the bench overlooking Glencree and then 5mins along a narrow muddy track through some heather and gorse brought me to the top, this path is well defined. Nice views from summit. Headed back down hill saw a song thrush and thought to myself, that`s all I am going to meet today. A bit closer to the starting point there were a group of people on the path. They were either making a commercial or some form of navigation instructional short film. The very glam looking lady in all black with the ruck sac was issuing instructions about compass bearings and lining up maps, she would have come in handy last Friday on Keelogeyboy Mt as the weather in Sligo was a bit challenging!

Visited this on a "soft day" one Sunday afternoon.

I started at point A and there was lots of space to park there.

The walk was very uneventful though the mist was around me.

The final part from the bench to the summit was easy enough.

It is overgrown and the track though barely visible once on it it is well defined.

Most of the way up (and it's not too far) I was bent over getting soaked from the trees and gorse.

It was worth it though as this is in in my opinion one of the most beautiful parts of Wicklow. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1100/comment/23207/

Made this walk from the Knockree youth hostel, head about 200m along the road from the hostel to find the entrance to he forest path at point D (pictured). Just keep following the path until you reach the clearing at point C, walk around the bench and follow the track up to the summit. This part of the track is narrow and has a number of thistles, so wouldn't advise taking this path wearing shorts. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1100/comment/17722/
