Maamturkmore, called Binn Bhán on the Harvey map, is a minor but very rugged and not easy to get to peak that I wanted to add to my climbs in the Maamturks. I had also failed to reach the nea...

Baunreaghcong: Snow and frost combine to paint the landscape

Approached this hill from Capard, and was fortunate to do it in snow and frost, as it rendered the normally so-so landscape very pretty indeed. Just as well really, as the hill has little els...

simon3: Track 2078 in area near Carrick Mountain, Dublin/Wicklow (Ireland)
Exploratory route for Carrick Mtn from the SW
Length: 4.9km, Creator time taken: 2h 5m, Ascent: 181m,
Descent: 176m

Places: Start at T21927 93544, Carrick Mountain, end at Start
Logged as completed by 2

This track was made in search of a quick way up Carrick Mtn, a summit that has caused considerable grief to previous people exploring it.

The immediate area of the summit is a quartzite ridge stretching approximately SW-NE. All around this are untracked trees, often the black barked Lodgepole Pine (Pinus Contorta). To the SW where we attempted to walk on the way up, many of these trees which in that area are Lodgepoles have fallen over, creating very difficult walking. If you look at the air photo layer you can see three types of tree in descending order of walkability, light green: larch, middle green: Sitka Spruce and dark green Lodgepole Pine. Our route exited the summit slightly north and west where the going through the trees was much easier.
