I got only as far as the last ridge. the conditions changed so I turned around. difficult trail, good boots and perhaps poles would be advised. mixed terrain- gravel paths, boulders to climb around/over, slippery rocks. pretty well marked, could do with fresh paint on the arrows soon and new marker poles. small carpark- free

Nice hike, not too strenuous. Easy to follow as the trail is well marked out. Amazing views at the top. Would recommend

Fantastic hike on a well marked trail. Amazing views on the way up of Tommies Mountain and Purple Mountain and the Black Valley. Incredible views at the top off Carrantouhil and Bienkeragh and the rest of the Reeks.
