This trail is not for the light hearted and inexperienced!! Do not do this if you have little experience hiking in difficult terrain!! Prepare for class 4 scrambling slippy conditions around massive drops and unforgiving grades. Very beautiful and extremely challenging. Highly recommend against the final stretch from knockbrack to diamond hill. It’s a straight 450m drop down steep grass/marshland, so difficult to find footing. It leaves you at a river crossing below a, steeper 470m climb up thick and unforgiving moss to the top of diamond hill. You’d be better off heading down towards kylemore abbey and getting a ride to the diamond peak trailhead. If you have the energy! Total time was about 9 hours. Best of luck
