    Yes, open the gate and go up the private road. It not a great surface in places, and a good stiff climb.

    Yep, agree with the blaa man, surface is a bit rough in patches but not all that bad really. Sometimes that gate may be locked so you can just hop the wee fence beside it. Was just up there today actually, steep fecker of a climb!

    This is about the steepest bit - You won't need to open gates , there is pedestrian // bicycle access .

    It's funny how they make these private service roads to masts wide enough for two vehicles, and even go to the trouble of painting a broken white line. Mullaghanish (about half way between Cork and Killarney) is the same. I mean, what are the odds of there even being one vehicle on the road at any given time, not to mind two!

    Those white lines are there so that when you are ascending, you can 'tare' along the dotted lines :pac:
    I did this climb twice this year, and not alone is it the highet paved road in Ireland but the toughest also. To put it in perspective, there's 100 more vertical meters to ascend (in the same distance travelled (2.6km)) than the National Hill Climb course.
