Rossmore Bale Stackers

Excellent climb. A little muddy on the lower section. Views from the top are worth it

Challenging climb up Ireland's tallest standalone mountain but well worth it once you reach the summit. There are several ways to climb the mountain but taking the trail from the carpark on the Northside is the easiest and quickest. There is a gravel path through a forest followed by a muddy trail and a combination of heather, gravel and rock for the rest of the climb to the summit. Wooden posts are placed along the entire path to the summit so you don't need to worry about getting lost. The entire journey from carpark to summit and back again takes 4-7 hours depending on your ability. The difficult climb up is definitely worth it when you are met with what is quite possibly the best view in all of Ireland upon reaching the summit. I would highly recommend climbing Nephin if you have never done it before it's certainly an experience like no other.

This mountain is tough, special in bad weather conditions,like cloud. It's make mountain too magic and scarry to go down. Easy to lost footpath in cloud. But definitely we will be back in better weather conditions. We wanna see view from Nephin. Highly commend!
