Generally people come at this from the lough guitane side. We tried from the kilgarvan/kenmare road. You can park very easily in the forest across from the millenium forest and hike up through the forestry plantation (with all the scratches this entails). Once clear of the forest it's rotten heather covered boulders. Our intent was Crohane but the ankles wouldn't take it. So we did Beenaunmore instead - quite pleasant and easy. Fantastic views and feels very wild. Easy access, easy parking but route finding and terrain are very tough for the first few kilometers. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/606/comment/2878/
