Rarely done in isolation, this nondescript summit is usually climbed in conjunction with Tonduff itself or Maulin. But it can be done without visiting the nearby summits. Start at Crone Woods car park Crone Wd (O1920 1417). Take the track west, and at the fork where you see the info board, keep to the right, ignoring the Wicklow Way to the left. Continue along this track westward which then begins to meander up the hill after about 800, turning east then west again. As a rule of thumb, ignore any side tracks that descend and only go upwards. You will also see one sharp turn to the left (east), but ignore this also and continue along the main track. Eventually the track narrows and into a snaking, steepish climb up the hill, before finally emerging at a gate that marks the entrance into Wicklow National park. A track to the left takes you up Maulin. Ignore this and continue westward around the side of Maulin on an easily navigable single person trail cut through the heather, which continues west for about 500m before turning left up towards the col. From there the track left takes you to Maulin, and to the right it is another 600m gentle ascent to the summit, which is unmarked but presents decent views.
Return trip to car park about 3 hours. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1405/comment/18033/
