Make sure you have decent boots and proper all weather gear as its definitely not a stroll. Map compass etc all essential as the summit can be shrouded in cloud with very little warning and there are steep cliffs at the south prison leading from summit. Most strightforward route is from Fentons pub in Glen of Imaal. In winter in particular note that this can take 5 or 6 hours - make sure you leave enough daylight to complete safely. see http://www.holidaywicklow.com for accommodation Happy Hiking Dave Stephen

My first visit to the Glenmalure area over the weekend and I was appalled by the mess left up toward fraughan rock Glen by the knackers that were parked up. Also a car was in the ditch near the youth hostel on Sunday morning and by Sunday afternoon it was completely burnt out! Plenty of well meaning campers in the area but I wouldn't be enticed, I can only imagine what happens after dark up there. I agree with Des.
