My younger boys, John 16 and Peter 13.75, joined me on a short but rewarding hike up Beenmore from Glanmore during our holidays in Kerry in August 2014. Reading the rather stringent rules for Short Summaries made me realise that one can't mention names, Tracks etc and my intended photo would not be acceptable as it shows the view FROM the summit rather than OF the summit. So be it! Well I thought it was a lovely little mountain (missed on a previous hurried outing to Moanlaur) and I especially enjoyed spending a few minutes on the summit, munching a communal snack and taking in the magnificence of Inch and Iveragh in the company of my super fit boys, both of whom seemed to feel that special sense of achievement that comes from the mountaintop moment. As they ran back down ahead of me, I paused to reflect on how memorable these occasions are, mentioned now and then as part of family folklore, and much treasured when the teenagers become adults, and make their own ascents. See Tracks Onzy 2233 and simon3 2007 for the longer traverse from Knockbrack, and my Track 2635 for the route from Glanmore. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/422/comment/17634/
