Usually the shortest way to climb the mountain, making best use of tracks and paths to gain altitude. Route navigation requires map reading skills and an ability to navigate with a compass.

The information given here will enable you to annotate your map and plan your route. We do not give anecdotal descriptions on where to find the paths, worn by the feet of previous mountaineers.

Where the access routes are few or the ridge is narrow, paths are generally obvious. On open ground, following paths without using your compass may get you lost in poor visibility.

Nice short and interesting walk. Snow added to it's character

Written by Claire Wales on 30 Nov 2009:

This is an under rated hill. We climbed in the first snows of winter and found the views incredible and the ascent interesting. We ascended from leaving the forest at an angle of about 30 degrees mainly following deer tracks. This made for a steady climb and interesting views of the corries leading to the summit. We tried to descend via the normal route which was a convoluted path and treacherous with ice under snow so instead made our way back across country. A highly enjoyable day.

A good hill for a half day

Written by Laura Troiano on 12 Mar 2007:

An enjoyable hill, surprisingly a lot of character.
