The 'south face' is to the right of the rocky summit as you look at the photo

Gearhane: Looks narrower from the north but offers a surprise!

Summit Comment Bunsen7 23 hours ago
Approaching Gearhane from the south you can see how it fans out from the top to the east and west. I suppose there is a resemblance to a tooth or fang - which may have inspired the name. For me, i...

Beennabrack: Steep Cliffs to the North

Summit Comment Bunsen7 a day ago
It's a shame that I've only summitted this particular top in thick mist but on a subsequent fair weather hike to Gearhane to the north I captured this image which gives a fair impression of t...

Summit Comment pdtempan a day ago
Options for accessing the mountain are more limited now than when I was last here about 3 years ago. Walkers are no longer permitted to park at St. Aidan's Church, the car-park being marked as pri...

Lissoughter: Attack of the Bees

Summit Comment TommyV 4 days ago
Followed jimbloomers directions which are spot on. No fence so access to the open hill is easy although strangely enough there is a fence all the way around the summit. Fantastic views of the...

Summit Comment Colin Murphy 4 days ago
Making an early start to avoid the summer heat, I was rewarded by the sight of thousands of cobwebs speckled with morning dew nestling among the long grasses and ferns, including the one in t...

Moneyteige North: Good views over S. Wicklow, but mostly uninspiring.

Summit Summary Collaborative entry Last edit by: 4 days ago
The simplest approach, and one which will not require crossing farmers' fields, is from the forest entrance to the north at T15936 77930, where there is parking for several cars. Follow the m...
