Parking by gateway to south then up pasture field to awkward wall, with parallel electric wires on each side. It had to be negotiated both ways, not too difficultColin Crawford09/01/2024
Parked to the south and up and over the wall just before the top.clivevilla10/10/2023
From the gate to the south, 1 wall to get across.robertphillips24/03/2023
Straight up from the south of the hillAndrew Simmons31/07/2022
Roadside verge parking at a field gate due S (NY 8229 6796). Sheep pasture then stone wall to negotiate near the top.jonglew17/04/2022
A very open hill which is visible from all directions. Verge parking on the road to the south although you may need to drive some distance towards the derelict barn/cottage. Through the gate to the south and up to the wall before the summit. There is no way through the wall apart from a smout hole which, with some acrobatics, can be temporarily opened to allow a crawl through. More acrobatics to close it on the way down!moorsman05/02/2022
From the road to the S. Room to park in a gateway then across the field. A gate in the wall, adjacent to the quarry just to the E of the HP, saves climbing the wall.JohnR29/08/2021

As CG. P near gate near depression.chrisbien03/04/2016
From S, after work on a very dark night; managed to avoid falling into any holes; summit a short way east of 1:50k spot htRHW11/03/2016
From S in approaching darkness, difficult to maintain a low profile for this one.Aye Jimmy03/02/2016
Same route as previous.Dusty06/10/2015
This one involves a trespass whichever direction you approach from, so I took the shortest route - direct line from the minor road due south. Highest point is immediately west of a depression in the ground - old quarry or shakehole?Crib Goch03/11/2013
