Route Climbed: Hags' Glen, normal hiking path Date Climbed: 29 June 2003
A worthwhile hike which does not suffer from the over popularity of fellow high points, Ben Nevis and Snowdon. Many of my friends in SA do not know that there are mountains in Ireland, but this one's a beauty. We had a fairly clear hike up but the wind and clouds came in near the summit, all very atmospheric with the lakes and whatnot.
Route Climbed: devil's staircase Date Climbed: may 2003
My wife, Dy, and I climbed it in just over 6 hours round trip in very wet, windy conditions. There are more sheep than people here. The green is unbelievable. Walk through pastures to the staircase, steep, loose, 3rd class rock. Take a right at the top of the staircase and follow the cairns/trail to the summit.
