"I climbed Maolán Bui in May 2018 with my hiking club. It was a windy and wet day and we didn't have any visibility. We first climbed Carrauntoohil via O'Shea's gully and continued from there to Cnoc an Chuillinn and Maolán Bui from which we descended. First we took a wrong turn though before realised that we were getting too close to a drop. The walk was nearly 18 km with 1250 metres of ascent." — hannahaapio • May 20, 2018
"Continuation from Cnoc na Peiste. After this peak the scrambling is done, and the walk is on a good path along a grassy ridge all the way. Walked south-west to a wide col, then easily up to the summit. With KM and NP." — marktrengove2 • Jul 17, 2016
"Solo. From Carrauntoohil Youth Hostel. Macgillycuddy's Reeks. After the rocky scramble between Cruach Mhor and Knocknapeasta the ridge becomes broad and grassy. Passed over Maolán Bui to reach Cnoc an Chuilin (3141') and Cnoc an Toine (2776') . Continued to Caher and Carrauntoohil before descending to the youth hostel. Time: 7hr 50min. The weather was good. It was misty on and off on the summits." — peter43 • Jun 14, 1987
