Stumpa Duloigh is part of a thrilling circuit which is currently beset by access issues. As of June 22 there is no access from V82184 81255 A. The ridge which incorporates SD is still accessible however and is well worth it if you’ve time for a longer drive. It lies high above a fine, steep-sided corrie and is splendidly isolated, challenging and commands great views of the Reeks, Glenbeigh and Dunkerron hills and over to Beara. The steepness to the N needs utmost care in bad weather.

SW. Park at Ballaghbeama Pass V75451 78103 B. N on rough ground to Knockaunanattin W top, then go E and ENE to K’anattin. Head E to the SW top of SD before climbing the v steep SW ridge to SD top. 2.5 hrs

SE. Park at V80804 78058 C - room for 2/3 cars. Walk up to the pass, climb the fence and go for it! By that I mean head roughly N and aim to meet ridge near V80221 79013 D. Then it’s a steep, tracked ascent to the summit plateau. 2 hrs

N. Park at the head of the Bridia Valley at approx V77855 81463 E. Head for V79182 82230 F and follow the fenceline to Broaghnabinnia and descend to the S (do not aim directly for SD as dangers await if you descend W of S). After reaching the col, climb steeply on an ever-narrowing ridge and at SH 776 it’s best to stay away from the edge of the corrie – instead veer to the W for a safer but still steep climb to the top. 3hrs+

No tracks on MV although track/3098 can be adapted, track/4395 can be used for Broaghnabinnia from NW and track/3287 gets you to SD SW top. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/55/comment/4815/
