From the parking at the saddle a pretty straight, sometimes slightly steep climb and a good first place to enjoy the view on the way further to Knockmealdown.

Amazing hike (also great for trail runners), easy-moderate, no dogs allowed, incredible views of Tipperary and Limerick. Can't beat on a sunny day. Rhododren were blooming, absolutely beautiful scenery. Free parking for around 30 cars, make sure to start early on a fine day. We arrived at 10am, and there were already 15 cars. Hike is easy / moderate, it took us 1.5h to reach the top (be careful it can get VERY windy), 1.5h down. Plan an extra hourf or food, photos, and enjoying the view No trail marking, but impossible to get lost, always follow the trail. You once reach (the only) crossroad,left one leads to Garrymor, right to Garrybeag. The last bit (5-10mins) to Garymor was steep, and please please be careful as the official trail led so dangerously close to the edge..one wind blow and you're gone - better to walk a bit inlands,just for peace in mind. Make sure to wear proper gear and bring plenty of water, and snacks / sandwich. Please leave no trace, as it's heaven on earth.

Irish academic Paul Tempan in his Irish Hill and Mountain Names Database (2010), listed "Galtymore" as the name for the peak, and "Galty Mountains" as the name for the range.[4] He notes that this anglicised name of Irish: Cnoc Mór na nGaibhlte, meaning "big hill of the Galtees"), is recorded as early as the Civil Survey of Co. Tipperary (Down Survey, 1654–56), where it is mentioned and spelt exactly as today, as a boundary feature of the barony of Clanwilliam.[4] The peak is named "Galtymore Mountain" on the Ordnance Survey Ireland Discovery Map.[4][5] Tempan notes that the diarist Amhlaoibh Ó Súilleabháin recorded a different Irish name as Irish: Beann na nGaillti, and the names of three nearby places are derived from this: Glencoshnabinnia (P. W. Joyce, Irish Names of Places iii, 366), Slievecoshnabinnia and Carrignabinnia.[4] Tempan does not comment on whether the name "Galty" or "Galtees" comes from an earlier anglicised corruption of the name Irish: Sléibhte na gCoillte, lit. 'mountains of the forests', as referenced in some guidebooks,[3] and other publications.[6][7] The range has also been known as Irish: Sliabh gCrot, lit. 'the hump mountains' (often anglicised as "Slievegrot");[8] and also as Irish: Crotta Cliach, lit. 'the humps of Cliú', which was the name of the surrounding territory.[9][10] The summit of Galtymore is marked as Dawson's Table, named after the Dawson-Massey family who were large landowners in the area (Tipperary Directory 1889), owning much of the land on and around the north section of the Galty range.[a] The area also originated Kerry Group's popular bacon food brand Galtee;[13] and the term Galtee Mountains is still in common use.
