Picture: At the summit
Best access is from the forest gate at A (S464 136) where there is plenty of room to park. Follow the track uphill towards the wind turbines. At B (S454 139) turn left and continue to the comms masts opposite which you'll see a small muddy track to the right. Follow this to the cross which offers wonderful views in all directions. The trig point can be reached by a bit of a slog through the gorse in the direction of the sometimes noisy wind turbines.

Great Views
by MichaelG55 13 Aug 2024
Visited 13.08.2024. Followed forestry track up from main road then on narrow track up to cross. Views from here of surrounding area are great especially the Comeraghs and Slievenamon. Well worth a visit, a little with big views. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1215/comment/24259/

To trig or not to trig
by eamonoc 15 Aug 2024
Climbed Friday 11th July. Followed excellent directions of thomas g. All the way to high point with large cross in attendance. No route finding issues, the trig point is at other end of hill, much lower down above the turbines completely surrounded by in places head high gorse, a bit of a slog through the gorse is a bit of an understatement! I accessed the trig from the wind turbines and it was nightmarish. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1215/comment/17569/
