Another Route
by aidand  9 Sep 2015
There is a steep but much more direct route up this mountain. Park on the roadside at about Q522 089 starC where the road from Cloghane meets the road over the Connor Pass. There is a gate opposite and a public path that leads to Loch A'Duinn. Follow this path for about a mile and then head off to the right before you reach the lake. Ascend Slievenalecka directly up its north ridge. There is a line of fencing along the ridge. This is a testing climb but doesn't feel unsafe. Car to the summit shouldn't take much more than 1 hour. From the summit it is worth exploring the Coumanare Lakes. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/599/comment/18305/
