From Knockbrinnea West Top IV 80778 85815 starA I made for the ridge between Beenkeeragh and my target keeping as much height as possible by making for an area on the map named as Glóras IV 80239 85603 starB. This stretch is again over fairly grassy ground a respite from the rocky conditions present for most of the Coumloughra Horseshoe, although as you near the top of the ridge the ground does become rockier. From the top of the ridge there is a short climb over rocky ground to Stuaic’s summit IV 79631 85858 starC. The views are again excellent none more so than down into the coum and across to the Caher’s and the ridge running towards Carrauntoohill. Here I could make out three walkers ready to make their ascent on the highest peak. The precipitous nature of the walls of the coum were readily apparent from this vantage point. The end of the ‘climbing’ part of the walk is clear to the NW and west to Skregmore and Cnoc Iochtair respectively. Two more drops and two climbs would bring me to the final summit of the day.
