Couldn't find a way up from point A
by wwwalker  27 Oct 2017
I couldn't find a way up today from point A, I'm not saying there isn't a way but I did not find it so went around to the car park at the start of the cliff walk from Bray to Greystones, made my way to the cross from the path that leaves the start of the cliff walk ( note not the path from the car park) and then along the upper path to the trig pillar which eventually appears on your left - don't go up the bumps along the way which are not the summit. There is a path down to the cliff path shortly before the turn for the trig pillar along which I made my way back to the car park. About 90 minutes.
