Short Summary created by Colin Murphy, jackill, sandman  6 Feb 2023
Park at the forestry entrance at R 70274 16868 starA, room for 5 cars Walk along forestry roads turning right at a Y junction and then keep left at a T junction following a track to meet up with the Darragh Hills Loop Walk now turning right up hill to the summit. The summit is a distinctive, large, rocky, conglomorate outcrop which sits on old Red Sandstone. Carrigeenamronety is also of note because of the large population on the rare Killarney Fern that grows on its slopes. It is a protected species listed in the EU habitats directive and the Flora protection order of 1999.
An alternative, more direct although steeper route is to walk along the forest road from A for 100m to point R 70492 16796 starB, watching on the right for a track leading west at an acute angle to the track, which will take you into the woods (the track is way marked). Continue up through the trees for about 150m (no obstacles) and then swing directly south, continuing up steeper ground again though the trees emerging at R70273 16475 starC onto a narrowish track that climbs daily steeply for about 600m. At R70294 16066 starD, turn SW for the last 200m gentle climb to the summit. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/825/comment/5584/
