| Parked at junction to NE. Along tracks and round to summit. Quarry diggers and dumper lorries still active to the north. | Adrian | 13/07/2022 |
| Nice rock on outer bank marks summit, saw nobody on the way in. Below south of the hill is a regenerated hill where deer are prominent which has an exceptional view of gover valley, massive drop south of that hill | FelixClayhill | 19/09/2020 |
| Avoiding huge trucks in this active quarry we quickly ascended the aerial service road. The top is quite flat with sunken aerial compound. The HP is a large boulder on heather.Friendly security officer. | Denise | 17/11/2018 |
| Road and tracks on E side in active quarry use, once you make it to the mast service road on the W side it's all much quieter and easier. | RichardM | 17/11/2018 |
| I initially tried to park in the quarry entrance but a friendly security guard drove up and told me that he didn't want to know what I was doing (he had met someone else recently climbing some hills) but if I could park at the road junction he would be on his way! A very easy walk up the comms tower access road which leads to within a few metres of the summit. Use this rather than scramble through the vegetation in a direct line. | moorsman | 17/06/2018 |
| You can scramble about in the vegetation JGG or use the access track towards the mast to make it easier then the exposed cable pipping to summit. Iain Brown preferred another bramble scramble. | Dugswell2 | 10/03/2017 |
| After Greensplat. From NNE, tricky access. Several steep sections of mixed heather, gorse, bramble, rhododendron to comms compound at top. HP by large boulder on W side and above compound. | jonglew | 21/02/2017 |
| Round of 4. SW 99204 56008, 331m, Boulder W of comms tower, or SW 99211 56028, 329m, Heather N of comms tower. the two about equal. Summit covered in dense heather (and has a comms tower and compound) | RHW | 26/11/2016 |
