"This is extremely unfortunate as there has been a huge investment by the local community and Donegal County Council both in terms of time, effort and finances. We respectfully ask that you do not climb the mountain at this time." Stone steps were placed on the majority of the hill, which had become badly eroded from the thousands of footsteps that displaced rocks in the past. As hikers have been encouraged to stick to the new path, the surrounding mountain habitat is said to be recovering well.
