[RWD version 1 ]
Route from Cronin's Yard, up the gullies behind Cummeenoughter to the Bones, over the ridge to Beenkeeragh and down from the col between Beenkeragh and Knockbrinnea.
Note I don't identify the gully involved, I confess that's because I'm not entirely sure. My intention had been to ascend to Cummeenoughter, from where there is a choice of 3 gullies, curved, central and Brother O'Shea's, heading towards the col between Carrauntoohil and the Bones. I had identified the latter gully as being the most appropriate. However, I was tempted by the appearance of an obvious gully just beofre the lake, which I now suspect to be Curved Gully. I ascended this for a bit which involved a fair bit of pulling myself up with my arms before an obvious break appeared to the right, through which I escaped to a less confining gully to the west, probably Brother O'Shea's.... Central Gully wasn't at all obvious...
The descent from the col is straightforward, a little bit of to-ing and fro-ing to avoid crags and scree/boulder fields, but easy enough and with stunning views of the Hag's Tooth.
