Tawnyanruddia is a minor excrescence on a substantial spur running south-west from the remote massif of Slieve Carr, lacking the scale and distinction of the parent but sharing its remoteness and remarkable outlook.

Any approach to Tawnyaruddia is likely to be made as either a diversion on the way to/from Slieve Carr, or by adapting one of the northerly or southerly approaches to that summit. These will invariably be along the Bangor Trail, either from Bangor Erris at the northern end, or from the Brogan Carrol hut to the south at (F96814 05574 A). From the trail Tawnyanruddia can be climbed almost anywhere up its southern or western slopes: the ascent is steep but is otherwise free from difficulties. Alternatively it is a short sidetrip on the ascent of Corslieve from Scardaun Lough to the south.

Whatever way the bumpy summit with its crowning outcropping rock is reached, the huge view westwards over the Owenduff bog to the sea and Achill is simply incomparable...a scene of 'Last Man on Earth' magnitude. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1457/comment/18085/
