Steep but Cheerful
by sandman  24 Aug 2016
Having made the decision not to trouble myself with finding a way through new planting I chose to ignore the Coillte entrances and parked beside a farm house (F9801307227 starA) with the view of reaching the summit (F9829007029 starB) by the shortest route. I asked for permission and the farmer kindly told me I could access via a field entrance approximately 60m from the house towards Letterkeen and directly opposite the gate was a gap in the fence into the old wooded area. Although the ascent was steep it was easy as the sheep had made trails towards the top. On reaching the open hillside although there was heather it was not a problem with easy enough walking. For such a small hill the views were fab. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1170/comment/18263/

On the sheep's back!

I saw this hill while climbing Birreencorragh earlier in the day and I was struck by its shape when viewed from the East. In geological terms I think its a 'roche moutonnée', a hill or rock shaped by the passing of a glacier...who wouldn't want to climb it? I had also noted earlier that it was an unclimbed MV top so extra value for the effort. and it does take effort as its surrounded by quite new forestry and this makes for slow, ankle-twisting terrain.
