I parked at L97358 47989 A, taking care not to block access to the gate off the R336 Maam Cross - Maam road. There's space for one or two cars here. I headed northwest, pretty much in a straight line towards the summit. Boggy at first, the terrain becomes increasingly steep until you get to within a kilometre or so of the summit, whereupon you have to scale the walls of what just might be a corrie. Up top, the terrain changes from bog to the typical Maamturks/Twelve Bens summit carpet of rock. The clouds lifted momentarily, enabling me to take this shot across to Mullach Glas and Binn Mor.
If you're planning on heading for these peaks, I'd recommend aiming first for L948 497 B, before heading west. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/256/comment/4435/

This photograph might take a moment to make sense as it is a bit of a kaleidescope of colours. It is of a frozen pool high on Corcogmore, with the Bunnacunneen and Lugnabrick summits beyond, and snow covered Devilsmother and Maumtrasna taking up the rear.This is one of the potential views availale to you if you venture up here in the winter. A clear day in summer would be even better! Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/256/comment/15082/

I climbed Corcog as the last summit of a fantastic loop, which also included Binn Mhor and Mullach Glas (see track 3238). From the col with Mullach Glas, I kept to the left of the fence and followed it as it veers right, before making a diagonal ascent almost straight to the top, avoiding the steep ground to the W. This made for a rather gradual ascent over the rough ground, with fine views over the steep E slopes of Mullach Glas and the S of Connemara. Great views from the top, over the immense Lough Corrib to the E, Joyce Country to the N and the rest of the Maumturks to the WNW, with even Mweelrea, Ben Gorm, the Sheeffrys, Devilsmother and Maumtrasna visible in the distance.

Corcogemore appears to have provided many interesting and ‘just happened to be there’ photo opportunities – csd’s photo of the cloud inversion, bryanmccabe’s snap of a curiously coloured Corcogemore from Lackavrea, and Colin Murphy’s shot of a rain-induced torrent of water. My contribution to this stock of curious photos is the attached picture which shows one of these torrents frozen in mid flow. It may even be the same waterfall as shown in Colin Murphy’s picture. Cute as it looked it still provided a hazardous obstacle to be negotiated. I discovered the best approach was to back off and find a way around!

This amazing photo of Corcog was taken on 20/12/09 from Lackavrea, between snow showers. The colouring is as taken and was not adjusted. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/256/comment/4309/

I am a little biased here because I have a great love for the Maamturks, and I also have a mad notion that video is a medium through which our beautiful places can be especially revealed. The knowledge that Martin and Sharron, gifted filmmakers, had crossed the Turks had me drooling in anticipation and I was not dissappointed. This is a compulsory movie for anyone who hopes to do the traverse or part of it, or who has already been there. It was a two day journey with a night under the stars at Maumean. The light on the first day was quite extraordinary and Martin and Sharron exploited the opportunities provided to brilliant effect. Day Two was more cloudy brooding and moody. But the total effect so beautifully filmed shows the sparkling West- quartzite, lakes and huge skies- to magnificient effect. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/256/comment/6373/
