    Hi guys,
    I was planning to climb sugarloaf in Wicklow with my wife. My wife hasn’t done a lot of climbing before. We have trekking poles. Would we need to bring the trekking poles with us. What is the terrain like near top.

    very very scrambly, and poles would be a bit of a hinderence

    Poles would be great (probably not even needed) for 1st half but as knucklehead6 says, as you approach the top, you're stepping a foot/foot and a half up each rock so poles definitely in the way at that stage.
