A fairly simple double-bag though it is not without a challenge as the track from the col to Bolus, while straight and well-defined will test your legs and foothold in parts.

There is space for a couple of cars at the starting point, walk back down road for 50m then proceed up the grassy track, crossing a gate on the way. The short initial ascent to the col will take 5-10 minutes.

Cross another gate and you will see the track on the right. Head up the steep slope for about 700m to reach the summit, which is marked by a trig pillar. Tremendous views all round.

Head back the same way, cross a stile at the col and proceed up the much gentler SW slope, which will take no more than 10 minutes from col.

Again great views and the Skelligs also visible. There is an interesting ruin on the hill, which is apparently Napoleonic signal tower. Took 1.5 hours in total, but that was at a leisurely pace.
