Climbed Hungry Hill on Tuesday 5th of July last.

What a super mountain.Steep and rocky with some stunning vistas. A mixture of walking, scrambling, balancing on rock steps, avoiding sheer walls but defeating and being defeated by some challenging gullies.

We did most of it in a thick mist accompanied by light rain which enveloped the mountain as we ascended the SE ridge. We had planned the SW ridge but it looked too exposed with the weather coming in.

Interesting to find such a boggy top considering the rocky profile but the long slog to the summit trig in a complete fog-out was'nt fun.

Going down was however. The mist grew thicker to the point of 5m visibility and the ground became very steep. We had gone off route and were descending the south face. Some very exposed cliff loomed out of the fog so rather than climb back up to gain the ridge we traversed SW along the face until easier ground found us safe passage off the hill.

Climbed 19/08/2007. A nice morning with a forecast for rain coming from the North west later, so I started at 9:30 from the main road. I couldn't find it at first as I was looking for the Rossmackowen Bridge but the road has been widened, so the original bridge is in on the right, just about where the mountain looks like it should be climbed from. I walked up the lane for a about a 1 KM and came to Tara cottage and the steel gate. From there I followed the track to the left until I came under the mountain proper and the path seemed to head in the wrong direction towards the small hut. At that point I headed straight up a gully to the right and some steep scrambling, stopping for a wheeze every 20 meters or so. After an hour the first cairn comes into view and then I was up. Had a snickers and then headed for the larger southerly cairn. It looks like someone has put quartz rocks every 10 meters or so along the path which looks like something from Hansel and Gretel.
The decent is quite steep but is well signed with yellow paint on rocks. Once the flatter area is reached you are nearly at the lake. At that point there looks like some great bouldering country as the photo shows, with 7-10 meters climbs and access to the top for a rope. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/130/comment/2798/

The ridge described by lewvalton in his contribution on this page is seen here in profile from the main Adrigole-Castletownbere road, a couple of km E of Rossmackowen. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/130/comment/3663/
