Very fine summit for this part of the world(!) with a profusion of cairns. Continued to Long Crag via grousers' tracks, some with plastic mesh base. | Aye Jimmy | 05/07/2013 |
| Estate tracks from Brough-Teesdale road and a short hop over heather. Fine top with currick, cairns and a good view | maknipe | 02/02/2013 |
| The landowners would prefer walkers to access the summit via the short route between the top of the road at the col and the summit. Experience of this and the direct route shows their advice is worthwhile taking! | moorsman | 16/05/2012 |
