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.ColB09/07/2023

Revisit to include Cnoc Ramhar ( Arderin Beag ) by the original cliff path this time ,much more interesting than the Pilgrims path.chalky195306/06/2018
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.pwbellarby02/07/2017
