| From bottom of mine road up through disused quarry on tracks until path reached to low col to south of top. Easy stroll past the fissures from there. Excellent view down to Blaenau from cairn to south of same low col. Return by same route - surprisingly varied little hill. | SS | 25/05/2015 |

| Easy parking Tanygrisiau. Took mainly good track and path to the end of the workings - at approximately the height of the lake. There is then an electric fence. Suggest crossing this and then setting off beyond for the col. As others have indicated - it is best walked in good weather/visibility. | destaylor | 17/04/2015 |

| Climbed on a round of Cwm Morthin from Tanygrisiau. Took tracks through slate quarries to just below south shoulder of the hill, then ridge path heading for Allt Fawr. Summit is about 100m to east of this path. As Chris says, beware of very deep fissues in terrain between the ridge path and summit. Could be very dangerous in limited visibility or with snow cover. | Man of Kernow1 | 18/08/2013 |

| From Tanygrisiau, left the road at the car park by the falls and took an adventurous route up through the crags, the top of which is a tremendous vantage point. I agree with others about the crevices - made for quite nervy going. | Jake994 | 22/09/2012 |
| Quick up and down from Llyn Cwmorthin before heading for Moelwyn Mawr North Ridge Top. Some nasty crevices on summit that you wouldn't want to fall into. Electric fence wasn't powered up today. | chriswatson | 14/08/2012 |
