From Llyn Geirionydd car park, N. along road for 60m or so & after crossing cattle grid headed up between areas of gorse to junction of an ATV track & RoW at SH 76596 60614 - Up ATV track, faint in places, to summit. Back down ATV track to junction & then NNW along RoW to road & on to Grinllwm.gerrybowes18/10/2022
With Rufus from Llyn Geirionydd car park. Walked up road N past fence and took a direct line to summit along access land. Gorse, bracken, heather & bog but all easily avoided. Picked up some rather grim litter on the summit ridge. Continued to Mynydd Bwlchyrhaearn.jacobrichmond28/09/2022

From Trefriw, up to Geirionydd, then up to the top of Pen y Drum, with Garethderrymark14/05/2021
Farm track and field path from Llanrhychwyn. Summit ridge of grass and bracken on access land. Distict high point. Wet and windy, not the best of weather. Llywelyn's Old Church hidden in Llanrhychwyn is possibly the oldest in Wales, very peaceful and well worth a visit.RichardM10/06/2017
Another warm, wet and windy summit with some views of sheep pasture, forest and green rounded hills.HP apparently concrete with low, metal, hollow pole. Tormentil, Bedstraw and fern on top. Also visited the ancient and peaceful LLanrychwyn church with brief respite from rain.Denise 10/06/2017
After Mynydd Deulyn, simple ascent from SW.RobertP19/03/2017
