From the large forestry car park SE of Glencoe Village. Footpath has been hijacked by a burn in a few places on way up but otherwise good path to top with a nice easy scramble on good path for last 150m to top. Glad I got up there reasonably early for a Sunday morning as I had top all to myself to take in the fantastic views along Loch Leven. Met lots of walkers coming up in their droves on way back down!!Jossker29/05/2022
Super day. Bright, clear and sunny but cool northerly breeze. From forest car park up using the obvious path which was quite busy with other people. No real scrambling involved. Descent on less obvious path to west. Again no real scrambling but care needed on steep rocky sections. Steep descent path alongside the burn back to road.Fife Walking28/05/2022
With Lorna and David. Much more difficult than anticipated with some minor scrambling at summit and path not obvious. Grey day. No views until well into descent. Lovely bright green tree.Skerryvore17/10/2021
