Logged Descriptions  (logged by 49 users)ByDate of Ascent
From Kilclooney woods free carpark to the east. Obvious path through woods then sheep pasture with slabs and heather. Ascend the ridge on a path with many variants. Great views north into steep sided Corrie ( Coumshingaun Lough). Pass through a rock band on ridge path with many variants and easy scrambling- delightful. Then continue up ridge to boggy grassy summit plateau. Path continues around head wall / west of Corrie but we went west over pathless bog to actual summit with cairn. Breezy sun. Returned along ridge on north side of Lough on path.Denise 21/06/2023
From Carrignagower with D. Dave. Now we know why there are no logs on this route. Horrendous bog which took ages to negotiate. I would not recommend that this is done alone as you could disappear for never be found. Also in thick cloud which didn't help. From the summit we headed NW to escape the worst and picked up the Nire valley trail back to the car at 277128.bolton06/05/2023
Across one of the wettest bogs ever from Carrignagower. With bolton. Grassy descent back to the car park at the head of the Nire Valley.Dangerous Dave06/05/2023
From the car park at IS34108 10222. Took the path up through the forest to a stile, then hill path up to Coumshingaun Lough. Then took the steep eroded path up the Stookanmeen ridge through the boulderfield to Pt.704m. Then around the impressive corrie head and west through the dry peak hags to the summit cairn. Return by outward route. With AT and JT. 12.3km, with 680m of ascent.Man of Kernow129/08/2022

along the ridge from Knockanaffrin, which becomes wide and flattish after ascent from The Gap and consists mostly of Peat Hags, which fortunately were firm despite the recent rain.IanHHill14/10/2018
From the Coumshingaun car park at 341102. Clockwise circuit of the corrie. Optional scrambling on the ridges. Summit an anti-climax after an interesting ascent.richtea504010/07/2017
