Carrick Mountain is located in the eastern foothills of the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland. Historically it was called Carrigmurrely (1756) and Carrickmacreily (1795).^[1]

The mountain rises directly above the village of Glenealy on the R752, midway between Rathnew and Rathdrum. The mountain is, bar a few large rocky knolls, completely covered in forest.

There is a network of forest roads on the hill, with long straights, steeps slopes, and hair-pin bends; the forest roads, with their sand and gravel surfaces, ascend to within 100 m of the summit. It is a popular location for car rallying (official and unofficial).^{[citation needed]}

There are granite outcrops near the summit of Carrick, which have been established as a minor rock-climbing location. About 15 single-pitch routes have been recorded, at all grades up to E2.^[2][3]
