As others. Better not in midsummer. And not in shorts. Otherwise would be easy in long trousers and winter. | Minto | 07/07/2023 |

Easy ascent from the south to mast. Trig and various boulders in brambly ground behind the mast enclosure, up a flight of steps. | fasgadh | 21/03/2022 |

Bagged as YSM271 Craig-Y-Dorth. Bit of a nightmare to get to this one. Followed disappearing tracks until we got a main track. Took us to a gate and then across a field with different looking sheep. Barbed wire fence to cross and then up to pillar. Probably not the best route. Trig not far from mast but couldn't see a way to it. | thejackrustles | 24/04/2017 |
From gate along access track, HP behind mast. 
Returned on 09/09/2017 to visit trig a short distance from HP. | PeterD | 22/04/2017 |
