Hill overlooks Killary Fjord on ridge to Mweelrea
Short Summary created by simon3  23 Jan 2022
Glance at the map and you will see that Killary Fjord bends around this summit. From near the top you can see water for 180 degrees. Seven major Connemara or south Mayo ranges are visible from the top in addition. A remarkable view.
On a good day the summit is worth doing as a shortish trip in its own right or as part of a Mweelrea circuit. An obvious place to start is from the vicinity of the Delphi Mountain Resort. There is parking at the centre (it's polite to buy a drink if you are using it) or beside the road including at a nearby bridge.
The quickest way is along a forest track starting at around L84080 64678 starA Walk east from there and leave the trees at around L83528 64634 starB head for the col to the SE of the top for a clear view to the fjord.
The actual summit has a cairn however the highest point is a sculpted piece of solid rock. Admire the extraordinary views. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/869/comment/5628/

View of the summit from Ben Lugmore.
by simon3  22 Jun 2010
This relatively unvisited and unsung place actually has magnificent views because of its location.
This is illustrated in the photo with the 12 Bens to the right, the Maamturks to the left and ridge leading from Ben Lugmore (East) in front. Also visible from the top but not the picture are the Ben Gorms, the Sheefrys, some of the Devil's Mother and even a bit of the Partry/Joyce area.

A worthy end to a fine circuit.
by eamonoc  9 Dec 2023
Climbed as part of Mweelrea circuit on 29th Nov,
it is a bit of a slog for tired legs after Mweelrea SE spur. The day was stunning, full on winter sunshine with incredible views, after summiting it was an easy descent to the road towards Bundorragha river. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/869/comment/24083/

Nice views for a little Mountain
by andren64  18 Oct 2020
We were in Leenaun for several days. Since my wife is not so fit for climbing mountains, healthwise, we decided to go for this little mountain. There is a parking lot in front of the Delphi Adventure Center where you can walk a forest path. Until it goes left over a small stream up the mountain. The way is wet! There was a rain shower when we got to the top, but the great view made up for it. A beautiful view of the Killary Fjord and the 12 bens! Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/869/comment/20968/
