Nice ridge walk from North
by Fergalh  28 Jun 2021
I Climbed this from the north at the edge of the forest on the R568 at 726686 starB there is a stone track . Plenty of space to leave a car, first cross gate and follow the track for a short while than follow the narrow ridge that runs parallel to the forest fence. Eventually that will leave you on the main north south ridge 720680 starC. Follow the fence all the way from here. Two minor spot heights (269 & 261) are traversed along with one large cleft and some minor ups and downs before the final ascent of the main peak. Wonderful views from here. Ground conditions are okay not wonderful but not awful either Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1191/comment/23184/
