• •It is most commonly reached as part of a wild, pathless circuit including its higher neighbour, Arroo Mountain, which lies to the south across a high, peat-scarred plateau.
• •The summit provides a superb vantage point for viewing the dramatic U-shaped glacial trough of Glenade and the distinctive limestone cliffs of the Truskmore massif to the southwest.
• •If you find the ground underfoot surprisingly firm, you have likely stumbled onto a rare limestone outcrop; otherwise, expect to spend the day testing the varying consistency of Leitrim’s peat bogs.
