Corcogemore/Corcóg mountain near Maam Cross

Gave this a blast today. Tough tough going. Ended up doing the rough route as attached in red (I think) The black is what I thought could be an option but does not look like an option in the flesh.

Did an hour and a half up and decided to call it a day and come down. According to Google we were at about 350 metres but if felt like a lot more. I honestly thought we were not too far from the top (611 metres) but was hard to know.

No clear path up, a lot of false tops and hard to know how much more it would have taken us. The going was very tough in parts, scrambling on all fours in bits. Very steep for me anyways, I am not a seasoned climber or anything. I would love to have made the top but decided against it as was not sure of the route, when you look up it’s daunting with no clear route. We tried to get to a shoulder and go up that but didn’t work out , then moved in from the shoulder as looked like some possibilities, but no luck and decided to throw the towel in after a good effort. Twas a good hour and a half climb but no cigar. We may give it a try another day if we could try and figure out the safest route

Thank you. Where did you get to see these routes on mountain views? Does it need a different login etc.

Thanks for input. We did Lackvrea in April 2021, was a nice climb and the views were savage.

so looking to try and conquer Corcogmore - attempted it already about a month ago and failed : ( spent about an hour and a half and only got to 350 metres and then gave up

half the battle with this hiking is trying to find out where to park, where to start and the general route up

thank you 👍
