Turn off the main road at R68750 76075, Ballycuggeran Woods, and follow the good forestry access road to a carpark , room for 10 cars. Make your way by various forest tracks to R66095 75400 A, follow the track leading into the forest heading roughly east here.
Exit the forest at approximately R 65800 75500 B onto rocky track. Go uphill on this track turning north at the top forest edge and steeply around to the east again before the track ends at the edge of a bog. Cross about 1km of bog to the small summit cairn.

Moylussa's summit is a dump. It’s also very soggy. It has assorted rusted ‘things’ and wooden poles strewn about. When I climbed it the mist was sitting on the summit as opposed to enveloping it which was strange. The dumpsite isn't quite the highest point. It was very hard to pick out a highest point in the gloom. One of them is about 100m east of the debris, and the other is further north on the other side of a boggy path which is nearly impassable I’d say. I didn’t bother.

I better start earning my points (rather than just submitting photographs of the beauties I meet)

I have climbed Moylussa many times. On my own I did not experience any problems but when I climbed it with friends we experienced a few unwelcome comments from local farmers.

As one of your contributors mentioned you can climb it via Glenngalliagh Mountain. You go to Kilbane, then up the East Clare Way for a few miles which you can easily drive. Park your car at the top of this road which, incidentally, leads you to Killaloe. If, however, you decide to continue driving on this East Clare Way, after 2/3 k/m downhill you will observe two tracks to the left which are cul de sacs R639 732 C and R654 730 D. These tracks, particularly the second one, R654 730 D, will allow you a more direct route to Moylussa but for the present I would not advise that you take either as one or two unwelcoming farmers are in the area. Anyway, after parking, at the top you will see a gate (north) leading through the forestry. Enter there and a track for 15 mins will take you to the bogland R636 749 E and your climb ahead to Glengalliagh. You will see Moylussa over to the northeast. You should get over to Moylussa in an hour or a little more.

This route is an alternative to going up from the Killaloe side.You can return the same way or if you have organised transport you can be picked up in a vey pleasant pub called The Pipers Inn (it's a few miles from The Killaloe UL Marine Centre), as this was climbed by me in 2006.

This is the first mountain I’ve climbed where I’ve met an unwelcoming landowner. I had decided to attempt to climb the mountain from near R652737 F around the area on sheet 58 called Aillemore. The road was really bad with nowhere to park so I was driving away from the mountain when I came upon a tractor traveling towards me. I hailed the driver and asked him could he suggest anywhere to park around the area and if he knew was it ok to climb the mountain. I was promptly told that ‘no one was climbing that mountain today’, before going on to say he was sick of scramblers driving through his fences, and that he and two other farmers had decided to call a halt to walkers on their land. He said he owned all this side of Moylussa and he was glad that he had met me at the bottom as he recently had chased 8 walkers up ‘his’ mountain and told them to leave. He wasn’t in the least aggressive but he did seem at the end of his tether so I decided not to push the matter. I asked him if he owned the summit area too and was there any way up the mountain. He had lightened up considerably by now and said there was a way up by Glenvagalliagh mountain or I could park at the marina just north of Killaloe and go up by the forest path, and then he went off again talking about his grievances and saying that only a fool would climb a mountain on a day like this (it was a bit cloudy). To be fair he gave me directions on how to get to Killaloe. Anyway I did the mountain the next day and thanks to walter hollicks for his directions which I found a useful in getting up this rather unpleasant mountain. I have a couple of additions to his directions which may be of use. Just before the marina at R688760 G you will see the entrance to Ballycuggaran forest park. You can actually drive up this a short distance where you will find an ample car park, nicely away from the main road and prying eyes! You follow the East Clare Way from here. Walter Hollick also mentions the path to the summit after the firebreak. It is important to emphasise the true awfulness of this though. It literally is knee deep in mud in places and it would be a good idea to bring a pair of wellies with you. Other than that take it very slowly and bring a stick with you to catch your inevitable slip-ups! I thought you actually have to take this path as the mature forest on your right is impassable and the new plantation on your left is barb wired off. However on the way down I went through the plantation as the barb wire is only intermittent. After you pass through the double gates you will have to cross the barb wire fence to get to the summit. Watch out for the small boulder set in the ground under the fence near the summit which you can use as a stile. Overall, I enjoyed the first part of the walk which goes through a forest park, which is so typical of south east Clare. The second part of the walk was terrible, what with the boggy path and the dump of a summit. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/390/comment/2094/
