Mullaghnarakill is normally experienced as a small rise on the main ridge of the Glenbeigh Horseshoe walk. However, to its north-east, a spectacular ridge rises to the summit between the coums of Coomnacronia and Coomaglaslaw. Though this ridge can be easily ascended, descent would be difficult. The ridge is narrow and exposed on both sides, however the footing is good and hands need to be used only at a couple of points. Views into both coums are spectacular.

A number of routes can take in Mullaghnarakill. The main Glenbeigh Horseshow taking in the entire ridge from Macklaun to Drung Hill is the most obvious. Perhaps the best starting point for the complete circuit is around V64812 86761 A - it should take 7-8 hours. Another possible circuit is that of Coomnacronia, which involves ascending the north-east ridge directly to Mullaghnarakill and taking in Been Hill, Beenmore and Drung Hill. A good starting point for this would be at the bridge at V62202 87010 B - about 4.5 hours. A further possibility from the same starting point would be to ascend directly to Keamconneragh and to make a circuit around both Coomaglaslaw and Coomnacronia taking in from Keamconneragh to Drung Hill - about 6 hours.

If you go west from the top, the view SW becomes another Kerry classic. The inlet nearest to us is part of Valencia River with Cahersiveen on the left side at the narrower part before the water widens. On the skyline is the magnificently named Geokaun (266m) to the right and the further summit is Foiltagarriff, 11km away. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/164/comment/1907/

Followed the route as described by Sbender on this page, up the NE spur to Mullaghnarakill, then over Been Hill, Beenmore and Drung Hill.

The spur is the highlight of the route, narrow, challenging and slow, but not particularly technical, a scramble which is tricky in parts, but which is very satisfying to complete. Approaching from the valley, there is one false top, after which the ascent becomes progressively steeper, with hands needing to be used more as you rise.

Route recorded in track 2343. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/164/comment/15201/
