Stumpa Duloigh SW Top

About Stumpa Duloigh SW Top

Located in the rugged Dunkerron Mountains of the Iveragh Peninsula, this high Hewitt serves as a rocky satellite peak to the main summit of Stumpa Duloigh. The terrain is characteristically wild and glaciated, offering a quieter alternative to the nearby Reeks with dramatic views across the deep hollow of Coomclogherane.

Did You Know?

• •The name is derived from the Irish 'Stumpa Dubhlocha', meaning the 'pinnacle of the dark lake,' which refers to the shadow-filled waters of Lough Duff situated in the valley directly to the south.
• •The summit is a key waypoint on the high-level traverse of the Dunkerron Mountains, usually bagged in conjunction with its parent peak and the neighbouring Broaghnabinnia.
• •From this vantage point, you get a particularly clear perspective of the McGillycuddy’s Reeks to the north, looking directly across the Black Valley toward the jagged ridge of Beenkeragh.
• •While officially classified as a Hewitt, the peak's status as a 'SW Top' means it is frequently overlooked by those focusing only on primary summits, making it a peaceful spot even on busy hiking weekends.
• •Despite the name suggesting a mere 'stump,' the 662-metre elevation ensures that any Atlantic weather front will treat you with exactly the same lack of mercy as it does on the higher peaks.
