The Maumturks or Maamturks ({{lang-ga|Sléibhte Mhám Toirc}}; the mountain of the pass of the boar){{efn|name=beola|The direct translation of Mhám Toirc is "pass of the boar"; there are several "turk" placenames in Connemara.[1]}} is a long broadly-straight mountain range, consisting of weathered quartzite peaks in its central section, located in Connemara{{efn|The range is outside the boundary of the Connemara National Park and on private property, but climbing access is granted.}} in County Galway, in the west of Ireland. The range lies opposite the Twelve Bens, on the other side of the Inagh Valley (a Western Way route). The walk of the full range (from Maam Cross to Leenaun), is considered one of the "great classic ridge-walks of Ireland",[2] and since 1975, the University College Galway Mountaineering Club, has run the annual "Maamturks Challenge", a walk covering the entire 25–kilometre range in a single day.[3]{{efn|name="challenge"|The entire route covers just under 25 kilometres, 7,600 ft of elevation, and generally takes 10–12 hours for competent hill walkers to complete}} Near the centre of the range in a deep valley is {{lang-ga|Máméan}}, a site of pilgrimage dedicated to Saint Patrick.[4]

Highest points

The table below lists some of the highest major mountain peaks of the Maumturk Mountains.[1]

(‡) The anglicised version is rarely used or marked on any maps; a more common anglicised name is the incorrect name of "Barrslievenaroy" (or "Baurslievenaroy"), which is a nearby townland on the slopes of Binn idir an Da Log.

(*) Cartographer Tim Robinson notes: "the Ordnance Survey has been incorrectly calling this mountain 'Leckavrea' for a hundred and fifty years." "Lackavrea" (Ir. Leic Aimhréidh) is the mountain to the east on the other side of Mám Aodha.[1]

Rock climbing

While the Maumturks are not known for rock climbing, the Loch Mhám Ochóige area of the range has rock climbs in the V-Diff to HVS grades.[5]
