The backbone of the range is granite, flanked by picturesque schists and quartzite on the east. I On the whole it is not a rock climber's area, though there are stiff enough scrambles to be met 'with here and there. The main axis consists of a series of great peat-covered domes marching mile after mile in solitary desolation, main­ taining the greatest average height in the country and second only to Kerry in their highest summits. There are about ISO hills in the Leinster Chain exceeding 1,000 feet, a third of which top the 2,000 feet contour line, while there are ten" twenty-fives" and one 3,000 feet peak.
