Corrigasleggaun

The 794-meter granite peak of Corrigasleggaun stands within the southwestern sector of the Wicklow Mountains, forming part of the Lugnaquilla massif.

Early Irish inhabitants named this mountain Carraig na Sliogán, meaning 'rock of the shells', indicating the presence of distinct geological formations in ancient times.

Local mountaineering groups regularly organize climbing events in the Wicklow Mountains, including annual challenges that traverse Corrigasleggaun's demanding terrain.

Climbers need proper navigation equipment and detailed maps to locate the small summit cairn, particularly when visibility becomes limited in misty conditions.

The mountain features Kelly's Lough, a corrie lake near its summit, and sits at the source of the Carrawaystick River flowing through the eastern slopes.
