From the Glenmalure to Aughavannagh road follow the Wicklow Way until you see a sign "Road Closed" and a large boulder lies across the path, to stop vehicles going any further. You are within a hundred metres of the top at this stage. Turn back and approx 30 paces from the boulder, you will see a cutting in the forest on your right - upper side. Follow this until you reach the highest point, then turn right into the trees, which are not as hard to travel through as they appear. Keep following the higher ground and shortly you will arrive at a small plateau, which is clear of trees and a short distance away is the summit cairn.

An alternative route down (can also be used to ascend) may be found by retracing your path to the Wicklow Way and crossing it to pick up the cutting on the other side of the path - not immediately visible due to a number of low branches, but these are at the entrance only. Once you pass through these you have a straight pass that leads directly down to the Aughavannagh road, along the right hand edge of the current felling line.
