Camaderry [2] at 699m (2,293feet), is the 90th-highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale,[3] and the 112th-highest peak on the Vandeleur-Lynam scale.[4] [5] Camaderry is situated in the southern sector of the Wicklow Mountains range, and forms a broad horseshoe around the valley of Glendalough with the hydroelectric station at Turlough Hill 681m (2,234feet), and the mountains of Conavalla 734m (2,408feet), and Lugduff 652m (2,139feet).[5] [6] Camaderry has a subsidiary summit, Camaderry South East Top 677m (2,221feet), and both lie across the deep Wicklow Gap from Tonelagee 817m (2,680feet), which sits on the "central spine" of the Wicklow range.[5] [6]
Between the north face of Camaderry and the east face of Turlough Hill lies Lough Nahanagan, a deep corrie lake carved by a glacier at the end of the last ice age.[7] The lake is associated with several Irish folk-stories.[8] The cliffs of the corrie around Lough Nahanagan are used by rock-climbers with single-pitch graded routes of up to VS 4c.[9]
Camaderry mountain contains the Luganure mineral vein which is a source of lead in the form of galena (PbS), and also contains traces of silver.[10] In 1859 the Glendasan and Glendalough mines were connected with each other by a series of tunnels called adits, which are now mostly flooded, through the mountain.[10] After several revivals, mining ceased in Camaderry in 1957; however, remains of the Miner's Village at Glendalough can still be seen.[10] [11]
