    Anyone been up the Heavenly Gates route lately? What way is the trail at the minute. Is it fairly well defined? Ie would it be very easy to stray off it.?

    I've been up the Zig Zigs and the Ladder recently and did the heavenly gates last year with a guided group but wasn't paying a huge amount of attention to the route.

    Haven't been up in a while but it used to be very well defined. Given that all trails around the Reeks are extremely well used in recent years, with routes like the Zig Zags and Ladder now big scars visible for miles, doubt the Ramp (the route that leads up from the Gates, which is really just the scramble under Howling Ridge) is any different

    if you can get to the rescue hut then its handy enough. the cut off towards rescue hut from main path in can drift around a bit. if you go around the north (into the little valey) of the rescue hut it seems to be more straight forward to find route up heading then left.

    We went up by brother o sheas gully in the end. Met a couple of lads a lot more experienced than ourselves so we shadowded them up. We came down by the Heavenly Gates. It was a lovely clear day so great to get a bit of experience on the different routes.
