Updated Summary:
Simple approach along Kerry Way
Short Summary created by Colin Murphy  23 Sep 2024
There is parking for several cars at V67129 89455 starA. Walk 100m south along road to a gate and stile to a section of the Kerry Way. Follow this excellent track south for about 1.5km to the col between Seefin and Coolroe and about 330m ascent. Cross a small wooden stile on the right and turn west up the steepish slope, following a faint track. You may need to re-cross the fence to avoid some rougher ground. The climb eases around the 380m mark, where you turn south for about 150m across the flattish summit area towards the highpoint, which is marked by a small pile of stones on a grassy area.
