Glenmalure zig-zags route closed.

Forum: General simon3 a day ago
Very bad news here about an assault on a sheepfarmer, favourably disposed to hillwalkers but not dogs on his land. An Agreed Access Route has been closed as a result. https://wicklownews.net/...

Mullacor Mountain Mullach Mór A name in Irish (Ir. Mullach Mór [PNCW*], 'big summit') Wicklow County in Leinster Province, in Arderin, Vandeleur-Lynam Lists, Dark blue-grey slate, phyllite & schist Bedrock

Longitude: -6.374119, Latitude: 52.985168 , Easting: 309246, Northing: 193916 Prominence: 98.23m,  Isolation: 1.6km

Bedrock type: Dark blue-grey slate, phyllite & schist, (Maulin Formation)

The séimhiú of mhór is odd, since mullach is usually masculine and so one would expect 'Mullach Mór'. Price recorded the pronunciation 'Mullawore'. Theoretically, it could be Mullach Corr. However, in addition to the difficulty of explaining the cited pronunciation, corr as an adjective in place-names usually means 'pointed' rather than 'round', which would certainly not be appropriate for the dome of Mullacor.   Mullacor is the 177th highest place in Ireland.

For looking from rather than for being there!
by march-fixer  6 Mar 2022
This rather dull summit is not one that would have you clambering out of bed early in order to rush to the summit. That is not to say that it isn't a useful place to go. The journey there, from wherever you start, has definite benefits in terms of glorious views. Traveling from Glendalough should really be done via Derrybawn Mountain for the range of views that this route affords, while coming up from Glenmalure gives you the pleasure of looking back over the glen and into the glorious Fraughen Rock Glen.
