Picture: Summit area.

Long walk to so-so summit.

Short Summary created by Colin Murphy 9 Nov 2023

One approach is from R85381 65206 star

A, where there is room for several cars to park. Continue up the west to R84533 65108 star

B and then continue along the trail to the NNW until R83585 65836 star

C. Take the sharp turn to the south and continue along this for 2km, ignoring all turns on right. At R84380 64523 star

D you will be within 50m of the summit. A short walk though the mature trees (no real obstacles) will lead to a clearing with a fallen tree, although the precise the high point is difficult to determine. Allow 2.5 hours up and down. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/616/comment/5375/
