A short but sweet scramble .. by IainT   (Show all for The Eagles Rock )
 
MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain The Eagles Rock in area Cooley Mountains, Ireland
Picture: Looking back to Eagle's Rock while heading to Slieve Foye.		  
Slippery when wet!

I took this snap looking back at Eagle's Rock while heading towards Slieve Foye's NW top. Om approaching from Raven's Rock summit you descend from the Eagle down the small cleft you can see towards the right of the rock formation. If you want to claim the summit a bit of a scramble is involved to attain the peak, but care should be taken if the surface is wet or there are strong winds to counter, as there's enough of a drop to cause damage. By taking your time you should be ok. Marvellous views to be had from the summit. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1461/comment/18408/
