Official information

Slieve Bearnagh is a prominent peak in the Mourne Mountains, known for its steep and rocky terrain. It offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape and is a popular destination for hikers and climbers looking for a challenging ascent.

From the Wikipedia article

Slieve Bearnagh (from Irish Sliabh Bearnach 'gapped mountain') is one of the Mourne Mountains in County Down, Northern Ireland. It has a height of 739 metres (2,425 ft). Its summit is crowned by two tors with a gap between them, giving it a distinctive shape. The Mourne Wall crosses the summit of Slieve Bearnagh east to west. Paths lead to the cols on either side of the mountain, namely Pollaphuca ("pool of the púca") to the west and Hare's Gap to the east. From the latter, one can also descend southwards to the head of the Ben Crom reservoir.
