Attempted to climb Muckish last week and had to abort the mission as the weather was awful. Take a look at the pictures. Attempting to climb Muckish from the track that is located from the North of the mountain and up the track to the quarry. This bit is fine despite the bad weather. It was the wet and slippery quarried rock up the quarry entrance that was very difficult. We continued up the steep incline to the wood stairs but then decided abandon due to fact that you need to actually need rope and a climbing helmet to continue the rest. It didn’t help when the rain was horizontal in your face. We came back down again and it was highly enjoyable. Headed to a local pub for some heat, dryness and warmth. It was then that the locals told us that if you attempted to climb the mountain from the north, you had a screw loose. Apparently, accessing this mountain from the south is much easier.
