• •Hillwalkers often include the peak in a high-level traverse of the central Caha ridge, connecting it with Knockowen to the west to stay above the boggy ground of the lower glens.
• •The summit provides a clear sightline over the Kenmare River toward the Skellig Islands on an exceptionally clear day, while the southern view looks across Bantry Bay to the Sheep's Head Peninsula.
