From a westerly direction
by eamonoc  3 Sep 2014
Climbed on 1/9/2014, following previous comments decided to climb Altnapaste from the west. Started from H 03735 96680 H, room to park here for one or two cars. Followed well made track uphill for approx .5km then through a gate onto open hillside and up to obvious col on the hill at H 04241 95835 I, then headed uphill in a leftward direction following sheep track to a fence at H 04418 95814 J, keeping fence on my right I followed it upwards to it`s highest point and summit lay a few mts up to the left of fence. Fantastic views of Blustacks from here, well worth the effort. 50min roundtrip from car. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/883/comment/17663/
