I climbed Carrolls Hill from the spine of the Slieve Blooms so challenge was low, however the weather was beautiful that day and looking down into Glendossaun and Barcam valleys is quite a view. It was part of a six hour walk that I made that day and I never saw or passed a soul despite being the weekend. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/508/comment/3010/

I parked at Glendine Gap and headed first for Barcam, before heading NE to turn left onto the ridge formed by Carroll's Hill. Not quite as clear a day as peterturner had, but nice views nonetheless, especially to the SW over to Mauherslieve. Not much in the way of paths or tracks up here, so you'll get a good workout lifting your legs over the heather. I had the advantage of frozen ground; this would be a pretty miserable trek if it got any wetter underfoot. Another rounded, boggy Slieve Blooms summit ticked off the list!

Parked at Glendine Gap, decided to link Barcam and Carroll`s hill as a quick leg stretch in the SlieveBlooms. Leg stretch it was! a tortuous 1hr trek over boggy heathery ground to Carroll`s Hill the only consolation being the weather, it was beautiful. The broad ridge to Carroll`s hill was surprisingly dry in places. This route is best kept for a really dry or frosty day, or find a shorter less arduous route up.

Nice to be able to see where you are heading for a change, and not too sodden underfoot. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/508/comment/15168/

This summit has a reputation for its leg-wearying, knee-high heather, however I'm pleased to say that there is an approach that is considerably easier. Upon reaching N 21744 01735 D, instead of heading NE directly for the summit, turn north, where you'll see a one-person track through the waist-high reedy grass. This is mucky in places but quite passable. At around N2174 0190 E this turns east, and although the track seems to disappear every now and then, it's worth persisting as it improves a good deal later. When you reach about 400m altitude, the narrow track is much more defined, and allows for a very easy ascent all the way to the summit, which is marked by two rocks propping each other up. The summit area is a fairly featureless, broad expanse of heather. Whoever is responsible for beating out this track, I thank you! Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/508/comment/23258/
