Running
A spine of shattered quartzite, Benbreen (Binn Braoin in Irish) is a long ridge rather than a classic pointed summit. There's some fun scrambling to be had, as well as knockout views. One of the highlights of the Glencoaghan Horseshoe, it's the fourth highest summit in the Twelve Bens range.
