| Very easy from track to south east - go right to the end, just past the summit for the slabs and the best view from it - green craig is better viewpoint! | Belfarm | 24/04/2022 |
| Weather fair. | MountainMac | 26/03/2022 |
| With Green Craig. Parked at Creich Church. | duchally | 25/02/2022 |
| A helpful grouse worrier's track from Craigancroon. | summitter | 05/08/2021 |
| Ascended ridge from E - lovely way up with nice views, although wasn't sure whether summit was in a lovely clump of gorse. Descended W towards Green Craig on intermittent path to a lovely barbed wire fence. | quadbarrel | 03/04/2021 |
| From the east on overgrown path. | Play2End | 14/03/2021 |
| 3rd hill and the highest one of the day for us. Done after Green Craig | The Fife Flyer | 05/03/2021 |
| Didnt fancy getting ripped to shreds by the gorse so up and down good track from the east | daviemore | 05/09/2020 |
| From Green Craig, squeezing through electrified (off) fences. Easy descent on track to east. | Fife Walking | 13/02/2020 |
| After Green Craig. Through gate at col and then put faith in various leads on faint paths up the gorse fields, usually keeping on S side of summit ridge. Not as bad as I feared. | Thearlaichdubh | 22/10/2019 |
| Who dares whins. There is a clear path along the summit ridge, and one along the southern edge of the gorse. East of the summit there are clear connecting paths. Summit is in the whins but the hill is not a monster. | fasgadh | 19/05/2019 |
| Black and Green Craigs from church. After entering the gate onto Black Craig, I found plenty of cut paths through the gorse. Teasingly, the area around the summit (east of the outcrop) remains a prickly thrash | Colin Crawford | 03/12/2017 |
| This was a bit of a stinker. From the cottages walked round the North side of the hill and eventually found a track (probably used for pheasant rearing) which led to the summit. Made the mistake of trying to head West towards Green Craig and got involved in some awful gorse-bashing. | NormanW | 12/08/2017 |
| green craig and black craig from parking at the church. | robertphillips | 22/03/2017 |
| Track from E. Gorse cut back. | chrisbien | 14/02/2016 |
| From the church and cemetery, past the cottages, over a gate, along left edge of a field to another gate, then left to the start of the ridge, then right over a third gate and along the ridge to the summit. There is an indistinct path but there is still plenty of gorse bashing. | Topographer57 | 28/12/2014 |
| From the E, parking at start of track. Path is becoming overgrown with gorse. Please take secateurs or loppers and stout gloves to cut it back. | Minto | 25/10/2014 |
