Short Summary created by thomas_g  14 Jan 2022
Climbed this in early Jan 2022 using a variation of Sandman’s route (ok I missed the firebreak on the way up).
Once you are out of the woods it is extremely wet and slippery. There are amazing views to the coast from the rrig point for such a small hill.
The firebreak described below is indicated on the OSI map but the forest track to it is missing (it’s west of the most westerly track.
While it would be possible to approach this hill from other directions, it would be a long difficult slog over horrible ground. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1146/comment/15390/
