A nice wee hill, that due to its position will give fine views I'm sure, although it was cloudy when I climbed it. The ascent is particularly steep on heathery ground and it is quite tough. started in strathconan from Inverchoran farm and was at the summit in exactly 2 hours, the whole route was about 4. A fine day out and the return leg is made easier through the use of a good stalkers path.
