Introduction[edit]
Approach[edit]
The standard approach is to hike up the slick rock rib between the Blarney and Shillelagh drainages and follow the cairns and well-established social trail. The trail leads up to the mesa and there will be a junction where the trail forks left to Shillelagh and right to Blarney. Keep right. The trail will take you to the head of West Blarney first, but you simply continue on eastward following the trail (which is a bit fainter now) to East Blarney.
Descent[edit]
- R1: 40 feet - Anchored from a cairn.
- R2: 15 feet - Anchored from one of a couple large chockstones. This will be easily down climbed by some taller people.
Exit[edit]
Once at the confluence of the East and West forks you simply follow the drainage to the south back to the trail head. There is one small shallow narrows but from the confluence no more technical obstacles remain.
