Camaderry (Irish: Sliabh Céim an Doire, meaning 'step/pass of the oak-wood')[2] at 699 metres (2,293 ft), 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 681 metres (2,234 ft), and the mountains of Conavalla 734 metres (2,408 ft), and Lugduff 652 metres (2,139 ft).[5][6] Camaderry has a subsidiary summit, Camaderry South East Top 677 metres (2,221 ft), and both lie across the deep Wicklow Gap from Tonelagee 817 metres (2,680 ft), which sits on the "central spine" of the Wicklow range.[5][6]
