From Ben Lugmore the ridge continues much as it had done from Ben Lugmore East Top: narrow ridge with cataclysmic drops on your right hand side. But there is an intermittent path (not that you need one), and it takes only a few minutes to reach the summit, denoted with a small upright stone. Now the ground slopes gently to the col with Ben Bury. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/50/comment/2469/
