Highland plateau view
Highlight • Viewpoint
This plateau is a good place to pause and take it all in before the real climbing begins. It's a bout to get quite steep as you ascend 'The Ramp' up Ben Lugmore. Make sure you're prepared.

Magic Mwleerea views await you by the time you get here. Hopefully it hasn't been too wet underfoot for you so you can enjoy this tranquil mountain summit and its grand views out over Killary Harbour.
