Up the Pilgrim's path from the campsite. Misty on ridge between SE and main top. Descended down main ridge and down One Mans Pass - very exposed in desent, Moira found by pass pat. Some views opening up but then caught in heavy rainin the fields further down. Back in the campsite for lunch as no weather for picnic. | ColB | 09/07/2023 |

Solo. Cliff path up. Small pile of stones on grass to north of trig seems highest point. Descended over Lergadaghtan Mountain (459m). | Dangerous Dave | 25/06/2018 |
Revisit to include Cnoc Ramhar ( Arderin Beag ) by the original cliff path this time ,much more interesting than the Pilgrims path. | chalky1953 | 06/06/2018 |
Done en route between Glencolmcille and Achill Island. From the car park at end of the road at Bunglass. Solo. From the summit of Slieve League South East Top I went in thick mist across the plateau to One Man's Pass. This is rather a knife edge but hardly a scramble. I went to the trig point and the higher ground 50m N where DBIH indicates is the highest point. On the descent I went along the crest below Slieve League South East Top – it is not too difficult although the drop on the seaward side is spectacular. Lower down I deviated slightly off the path to include the summit of Scregeighter South Top (308m). Overall a very worthwhile walk. | pwbellarby | 02/07/2017 |

3rd ascent, club meet, cold but clear, climbed via the teelin track to the holy well and ruined church, continued on over this top and out along the narrow ridge to the main summit. returning same way and down to the pub at teelin. | rum doodle | 04/04/2010 |
Walked up part way on cliff paths then across to track to avoid worst of the cliff bits for me. | nickywood1 | 13/05/2009 |
